Robert Ampeau & Fils Description

  • Varietal/Blend: Chardonnay
  • Vineyard Area: La Pièce Sous le Bois was the last vineyard acquired by Domaine Robert Ampeau (1973). It's the largest of the estate's parcel totaling 1.6 hectares and today is planted entirely to Chardonnay. La Pièce is among the steepest and highest elevations vineyards in Meursault (just below the forest at the very top of the hill) and very close to the border of Puligny-Montrachet.
  • Soil: The soils consist of clay and stony limestone over a hard bedrock of limestone which is fundamentally very similar to the First Growth vineyards in the middle of the hill. The main difference is that, at the top of the hill, topsoils are finer and faster draining, which creates a more stressful environment resulting in racier and lighter qualities in the wines.
  • Elevation: 350 meters
  • Exposure: Southeast
  • Vinification: Pneumatically pressed with fermentation and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, of which 10-25% are new.
  • Maturation: About 10 months in oak pièces with regular bâtonnage
