With only around 25ha of 100% Chardonnay, he has plantings in the Premier Cru site of Cuis, and Grand Cru in Cramant and Chouilly. He annually produces about 17,500 cases from vines aging from 30 years to 94 years of age. The Cote des Blancs is planted to 96% Chardonnay, 3% Pinot Noir and 1% Meunier with a soil of cretaceous chalk and some clay and sand. Most vineyards have an east or southeast exposition. | | | |
