Michel tends 6 hectares of vines of which 3 hectares are given over to Trousseau and the remainder is split between Chardonnay and Savagnin.

Les Crêts is a small hill with very good terroir. The grapes for this wine are manually harvested and matured in old wood so that the wine can ‘breath’ but so that no new oak flavour dominates the wine.

There is the trademark oxidative quality to this wine which provides a nutty spiciness and umami flavour that makes you want to sip more and more of it. This is Jura Chardonnay at its best.

Honey, pear and almond flavours dominate with a long, lingering minerality that reflects the amazing terroir of the area.
