Halfway up the slope of the ‘Golden Hill’ is a wonderful terroir of clay and limestone with red hue, very like the soil at Aloxe-Corton. 80% whole bunch natural ferment in concrete vats before press, then resting for over a year in old oak. On the palate medium-bodied yet powerful with black cherries, black fruit and pepper spice with a beautiful long finish. The tannins are silky and rounded and will continue to reveal its full splendour in the years to come.

Claude Nicolay

Claude Nicolay & her brother, François, are the current generation in a family estate that was founded in 1834. They have small plots totalling 34 acres dotted throughout some of Burgundy’s biggest names including; Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton. Claude and François have not rested on the prestigiousfamily name (they are related to the Chandon family of Moët& Chandon in Champagne). Since 2001 they have been on ajourney towards fully biodynamic viticulture, a reaction towhat they felt was the destruction of vineyards in Burgundy through profuse spraying with chemical pesticides and herbicides. What you get here is not just a Chardonnay from the exalted Grand Cru slopes of Corton-Le Charlemagne, but a pure andhonest expression of time and place. Gently nurtured inseven-year-old barrels after a slow fermentation, it displays power and elegance from early on, developing richness and complexity as it matures in bottle.
