Florent rouve was fresh out of dijon’s wine college when he first met jean rijckaert, an established burgundy wine legend. The pair’s shared vision for a natural style of winemaking has led to phenomenal success and florent has now been at the helm of production since 2013. His minimal intervention approach includes carefully hand picked harvests and zero chemical use in the vineyards. He ages this viré clessé on its lees in small oak barrels for up to 15 months. The result is a richly textured chardonnay with crisp notes of citrus, stone fruits and blossom, balanced by a delicate minerality. The 2020 vintage scooped an iwc award in 2022.
