Description

We compare "Duresses" with the name Daraises which, in the Mâconnais, is still given to the sides of carts. It comes from the Gallic Doratia “mobile grazing barrier, fence gate”. One can wonder if, in the bottom of the mountain of Bourdon, there had not been enclosures for cattle surrounded by wooden barriers, which would have given their name to these climates and places known as. This young vine of 0.27 ha rests on a loamy clay-limestone soil on the middle of the hillside and lends itself perfectly to the establishment of Chardonnay with plants selected by us. The maturity is early, the wine supple and without aggressiveness. It is balanced, mineral, and does not lack a good length. Aging potential of 3 to 5 years.
