Les Combottes

The parcel

Les Combottes extends beyond the village on a southwest-facing hillside. Its name refers to the small valleys that shape the land. The vines were planted in the early 2000s in light, pale soils.

Soil White marl, light soils

Winemaking & ageing

Grapes are harvested into small crates and pressed whole. After 24 hours of settling at low temperature, the juice ferments in barrels, 30% of them new. Ageing on lees with stirring continues until July, with bottling after about twelve months.

Tasting notes

A fresh, fruity white with a golden colour. Spice accompanies the fruit, followed by honey and flint as the wine matures.

At the table

Fish, shellfish, warm goat cheese or Bleu de Bresse.
