"""The nose is elegant: white flowers, lime, hazelnut. Good acidity that blends nicely with woody notes of toast and dried fruit."""
Maison François Martenot has its origins at the beginning of the 20th century when Lucien Gustave Martenot acquired a 10 ha estate in Savigny-lès-Beaune. This domain was created in 1859 by Mr. Léonce Bocquet, then the sole owner of the Château du Clos Vougeot, and fervent defender of Burgundy and its cultural heritage. The domain then developed thanks to the acquisition of neighboring land and many works of planting vines and housing works were undertaken.
Burgundy is the home of the Chardonnay grape, which develops its most perfect expression on this land. Produced in the Côte-d'Or, Saône-et-Loire and the Yonne, Burgundy Chardonnay is a wine of initiation, inviting you to discover the appellations Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru of Burgundy.
Clay and limestone soils resulting from the weathering of limestone and marl substrate.
Traditional vinification. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. Fermentation in stainless steel thermoregulated at 16°C. Aged in oak barrels used between 1 and 5 times for 10 months.
