Winemaker Notes
The vineyard extends between 250 and 330 meters above sea level and borders the Languettes plot. Corton Grand Cru Les Perrières is an east-facing climate located in the middle of the hillside where there was an old stone quarry which gave its name “Perrières”. It is a wine for laying down par excellence, of great power and well-structured.
About Winery
The Chapuis family has no less than 170 years of experience making wine in Burgundy. It all started with Pierre Pavelot who bought 1.6 hectares on the Charlemagne field in 1850, his daughter married Antoine Chapuis, and the rest is history. Season after season, they have learned to read the climate, and they know every nook and cranny of their terroir - this has meant that they create unheard of high quality in all vintages.
The 6th generation is taking over, the two siblings Pierre and Claire Chapuis. This is a smooth transition with parents Maurice and Anne-Marie. The house owns 11 hectares of vineyards in the Cotes de Beaune around the Corton hill. It is primarily red wines (obviously Pinot Noir in Burgundy) but also 2 different places with Chardonnay. Domaine Chapuis is not organically certified, but they have an HVE3 which stands for (high environmental value) with a focus on creating biodiversity in the field with limited use of pesticides etc.
They use traditional French casks with approx. 12 months for white wine and 18 months for red wine, but they only use approx. 10% new casks, so that they retain the purest expression – mineral and full of carat.
