Champ Salomon, a place with century-old vines

Located in the place called Champ Salomon, this 50-year-old vineyard benefits from a unique soil, composed of Entroques limestone, giving solidity, and Ostréa Acuminata marl, bringing greater fullness to the grapes of this small plot of 0.50 ha.

The complementarity of these elements is reflected in the distinctive earthy character of Marsannay “Champ Salomon”. The material offers consistency with remarkable liveliness, solid tannins and an aromatic expression dominated by red fruits and aromatic herbs. The lingering finish is marked by a firm and fresh minerality.

Exceptional aging potential

This promising terroir has exceptional aging potential, gaining in texture over time. It is recommended to prepare the wine in advance, through opening or decanting, during the first five years.

Environmentally friendly viticulture

The estate adopts an environmentally friendly approach to viticulture, working the soil since always. The vines, resulting from mass selections, benefit from meticulous green work, such as disbudding to balance the load and training of the branches to aerate the vegetation. Sorting on the vine is carried out 2 to 3 weeks before the harvest, ensuring a naturally low yield. All plots of the estate are harvested by hand.

Meticulous winemaking

After sorting on the table, the grapes are transported by gravity to temperature-controlled vats. Depending on the vintage, around 50% of whole harvests are integrated. Fermentations take place with indigenous yeasts, favoring infusion with little mechanical intervention during vatting. Only the first pressures are retained during pressing. Aging lasts for approximately 12 months in barrels (20% of which are new) followed by 6 months in vats.

Bottlings reducing SO2 inputs

During bottling, SO2 contributions are reduced, underlining the estate's commitment to attentive winemaking that respects nature.
