As mentioned, Vincent arrived at the domain at an early age and worked all these years in the style of his father. Often on our visits we did see that he was also experimenting with different barrels, different methods of growing up etc. Eventually with the 2017 harvest this led to a major change at the domain. Vincent chose from that vintage to give the wines not 12 months, but 20 months élevage. No longer only on barriques, but also on concrete eggs. The change took some doing, but the result is amazing. The wines have gained even more depth and expression. In 2020, the concrete eggs have found a place in a completely new cellar behind the domain.

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
