Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations both happen in oak barrels here — 90% barrel, 10% stainless — then the wine rests 14 months total before release, a choice that shapes the texture of this village-level Chardonnay. Les Sétilles draws from roughly sixty plots across Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise, planted on colluvium and small-pebble soils with 45-year-old vines. Grapes arrive 90% hand-harvested, split equally between crushed and whole-cluster before a 24-hour cold settle. The result is honeyed white stone fruit, a chalky mid-palate, and a clean, mineral finish.
