Domaine d’Ardhuy owns 42 hectares of vines in the Cote d’Or. The vines are managed carefully according to the principles of “lutte raisonnee”; where there is minimum use of chemical treatments thanks to continual management of the soil and vines in order to ensure vineyard health. Practices such as superficial ploughing during the Spring and Sumner and deep ploughing during vegetative dormancy cut the superficial vine roots and forces the roots deep into the soil for more terroir expression.
Tasting Notes
On the nose expect floral and fruit notes; acacia, hawthorn, lemon, quince, apple and pear along with almond and honeysuckle. Fresh and balanced palate with fleshy fruit flavors of juicy peach with lemon curd and madarin. There is a subtle marly minerality with salinity on the finish. A beautifully balanced white Burgundy.
Method
Made from Chardonnay grapes from the regional Hautes Cote de Beaune appellation which covers 29 villages. The growing region is located at the foot of a limestone cliff on the sunny slopes of a ribbon of valleys perpendicular to the Côte de Beaune, from Les Maranges to Ladoix-Serrigny heading west. The vines of Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune grow on the south- and southeast-facing slopes of valleys cut into the limestone plateaus at between 290-485m above sea level, between 100-200m higher than the Côte de Beaune, which results in slightly later maturing and harvesting on average around one week later. The soil is made up of formations laid down 80 million years ago during the Trias (sandstone and clay) and the Jurassic (marl and limestone).
The grapes for this cuvée come from vines grown on clay limestone soil called “rendzine” on top of compacted limestone. The soil is not deep or fertile but is well-drained and heats up quickly. They have an ideal south-facing exposure that benefits from excellent sun exposure. The altitude is around 390 metres above the village of Savigny-lès-Beaune. This wine is fermented in stainless steel and sees no oak treatment.
