2021 is a rare vintage. The bud burst took place ten days earlier than anticipated on the 4th of April. Then, during the nights of the 5th, 6th and 7th April, temperatures fell well below as low as -8 °C. Faiveley's Chardonnay vines as well as the whole of the Côte chalonnaise were highly impacted by the frosts. From May through until July the weather was cool and humid. Flowering took place mid-June. The harvests began on September 21st and drew to a close on the September 30th. Faiveley's Chardonnay wines are pure and taut with excellent levels of acidity and a beautiful mineral profile. 2021 is a direct vintage with exceptional freshness.

Pale yellow with greenish glimmers. The nose reveals fresh, floral aromas and a touch of brioche. The palate is rich and powerful with toasty notes and a pleasant freshness. A lively and direct wine with excellent tension.

4 to 6 years. Ready to be enjoyed now.

Ladoix-Serrigny is one of the Côte de Beaune's oldest winemaking villages. The first Lords of Ladoix were present here as far back as the 13th century.

The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. The musts are extracted using a pneumatic press before being settled. Vinification lasts for 4 weeks and takes place mainly in French oak barrels (less than a third of which are new oak) in our cellars at consistent, natural temperatures and hygrometry. The wine is aged in barrels for 12 months during which it is stirred regularly in order to keep the lees in contact with the wine. This results in excellent tension and aromatic complexity combined with a smooth and delicate palate.
