Tasting note

Peerless Burgundy, packed with cherries, dark chocolate and cocoa bean, increasingly fragrant with truffle, undergrowth and leather as it ages.

Viticulture

Above Clos Vougeot, this 1.175-acre vineyard faces east on chalky Bajocian soil, ideal for Pinot Noir. Vines average 22 years, Guyot-pruned with low yields. Biodynamic since 1990 using “sélection massale” from Drouhin nursery. Soil managed with compost, ploughed by tractor or horse. Only organic treatments applied. Named after the hamlet Cheza.

Vinification

Hand-harvested in small crates to preserve fruit integrity, then hand-sorted at the winery. Maceration and fermentation last 2–3 weeks with indigenous yeasts under strict temperature control. Gentle extraction includes daily pigeage and remontage. Pressings kept separate. Aged 14–18 months in barrels, 20% new oak.

Food Match

A great match for meats of all kinds - even richly sauced dishes like boeuf bourguignon and coq au vin. Roast grouse, pheasant, partridge as well as high quality farmed meats such as guineafowl and goose.
