The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers is made from a 0.7 hectare plot of Chardonnay planted in 2004. The parcel is located north of the village and is east facing. The soil is predominantly limestone but varies between more a higher concentration of marl or sand in certain spots.
Since the new generation came on board, there is even more attention to the vineyards. They chose to do horse- drawn plowing in the smaller parcels and apply composts and plant-based herbal remedies to promote the soils and the plants’ equilibrium. Pruning, budding and trellising is evaluated vineyard by vineyard to stimulate the maturity and health of the grapes. The domaine is working towards organic conversion and can attest to the positive changes already taking place in the soils.
