MOT DU CHEF DE CAVE
The “Les Bauves” Lieu-dit provides an atypical expression of Chardonnay. Soils are heavy in clay and rich in limestone: nevertheless, the chalk is highly decompacted, enabling root systems to develop in depth and draw on the subsoil’s chalky minerality. The terroir provides its wine with a remarkable balance between mineral power and aromatic concentration.
Laurent Vaillant
Le millésime
There was heavy rainfall throughout spring 2016: an absolute record exceeding 1995’s pluviometry, with 513 mm falling in 6 months. With unrelenting cold spells, there were frequent major frosts from 18 to 27 April: rather late frosts resulting in considerable damage to a number of sectors, including Barrois. Summer saw the rains easing off, but brought extreme conditions in late August leading to widespread scalding.
