NEW ESTATE IN THE 2023 GUIDE
. Jean-Marie Chaland’s estate covers 9 hectares, mainly planted with Chardonnay, spread across 23 plots in Viré, Montbellet and Burgy. The vines are organically farmed, certified since 2003, with an average age of over 50 years. We have been following this estate for several vintages; it is one of the artisan winemakers of southern Burgundy. The range is consistent, without any artificial enhancements or sophisticated ageing; the wines bear the hallmark of the terroir, offering an elegant, fresh and delicate expression of Chardonnay, with a maturity that is always perfectly balanced, without excess. Their very elegant Gamay, with its sparkling fruit, is also a fine addition for wine lovers.
