The Climat
Located north of Santenay, the "Beauregard" parcel holds a central position within this appellation. Planted in 2006, at an altitude of 260 meters, the vines are rooted in a soil of granular texture, rich in clay and limestone. Going deeper, a high stone content reveals a substratum of Jurassic origin. The "Beauregard" Climat is known for its white wines, balanced between tension and roundness.

The vintage
The winter was mild, but the alternation of warm and cool periods slowed the vines' growth cycle, thus budbreak was expected for late March - early April. As spring frost spared our vines, flowering began toward the end of May. A first heatwave came in early July, followed by a second one between August 10th and 25th, slightly delaying veraison. At the Château de la Crée, harvest started on September 3rd under summer conditions. 2023 marks the second consecutive vintage delivering both above-average yields and quality. The Chardonnay has reached optimal ripeness while preserving a lovely freshness. The Pinot Noir shows great aromatic structure.
Tasting note
The bouquet reveals notes of ripe white fruits and flowers. The palate is bright and true to its terroir, elegant and sapid, with toasted and floral aromas (white flowers). On the finish, its minerality and persistence are remarkable.
