Description

Valentin Montanet’s signature clean, precise style is clearly evident in this red Burgundy from La Soeur Cadette. The result is a fruity, juicy, crisp wine that is perfectly balanced, with not a hint of harsh tannins. It goes down a treat – we love it!

In the vineyard, in the cellar

The uniqueness of La Soeur Cadette’s terroir stems from the uplift of the limestone layers by the Morvan granite massif during its formation. The vineyard itself is situated on older limestone layers: largely the Bajocian, Upper Bathonian and Lower Bathonian, as well as the Lias. To this complex geology must be added the orientation of the vines, which is of course just as important! The vines at La Soeur Cadette are oriented from south-east to south-west. The south-west is particularly well-suited to Chardonnay as the sun shines later in the evening in September and ripeness is often better there.

Organic farming. Weed control in the vineyards is carried out without synthetic chemicals, using ploughing and hoeing throughout the growing season. Methods that respect the plants, the soil, the environment and quality of life.
