Information

Bourgogne Aligoté "Les Chagniots”

The vineyard - Les Chagniots is located between Ladoix and Corgoloin. It’s a small parcel of 4 ouvrées (0.17 ha), with deep, rich alluvial soils, surrounded by corn and wheat fields. This isolation is a big advantage, especially against powdery mildew. Regardless of vintage, we never need to spray sulfur, and it is a pleasure to work here. You don’t stink of sulfur after a long day in the field!

We farm organically, using phytotherapy approaches researched and recommended by Eric Petiot, a pioneering plant scientist based in Lausanne. As far as spraying goes, minimal copper is used against downy mildew and low-fat milk against powdery mildew, with zero sulfur use. (Why skim milk and not whole milk? It’s because the fat clogs the nozzles of the sprayer).

The vineyard is plowed by horse by Gilbert Simond, who is a master in his field. He is the most coveted horse plower of the Côte, hired by everyone from Domaine de Montille to Comtes Lafon. The soil is tilled from mid-April to mid-July only, with no tilling for the other 8 months of the year. In mid-July, after the last tilling, we manually sow a mix of 13 different perennial and annual plant species to de-compact the soil and build organic mass for better water retention, increased biodiversity and healthier soil composition. The seeds are all certified organic.

The Wine - Nose : Complex, lightly flinty. Palate : Floral and salty. Yellow stone fruits, pear. Energetic and dense. Beautiful texture with length. We recommend waiting for at least until the end of the year 2022 to open, as it can be closed in its youth, a testament to its long aging potential. (by Chanterêves)
