Arbois Chardonnay '22

Located at the heart of Arbois, specifically in “La Pinte à la Capitaine” on the beautiful blue marl soils of the Lias, founder and geologist Roger Martin, planted 14 hectares of Savagnin. It was then the largest estate planted with Savagnin. Today, Pierre Martin builds on his father’s work having enlarged the estate to 34 hectares under vines. With more than 20 years of organic farming (conversion took place in 1999) and 10 years of biodynamic practice under his belt, Pierre’s focuses purely on the principle of minimal intervention. Biodynamic culture also allows the indigenous yeasts to grow on the skin of the grapes, which are harvested by hand and are spontaneously fermented. Grapes are hand harvested by hand, direct pressed, fermented with native yeasts in tank and aged for 13 months in wooden 52hl and 228L barrels.
