Description
Santenay's smallest premier cru, it lies on a south-facing slope, on shallow soil over Jurassic oolitic limestone. In the past, beehives were set up here; in those days, bees were known as "honey flies". The Muzard family buys the grapes from this plot, which they have been following for years. The vines, planted in the early 1980s, are tended like their own, with cordon de royat pruning. The soil is ploughed, the vines are de-budded, lifted, thinned out, aerated and harvested by hand. Domaine Muzard carries out all mechanical work. The grapes are never crushed, but mostly de-stemmed (around 30% whole grapes). Alcoholic fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts. The wine is lightly pigmented during vatting. After 18 to 20 days, the wines are devatted and blended with free-run wine and press wine for ageing in Burgundy barrels, 15% of which are new. Aged for 12 months.
