Where Heritage meets Innovation
Redefining the great terroirs of Bugundy

The Team

Innovation & Quality

At Château de la Crée, our team, passionate about wine and drawing on its extensive experience, is dedicated to revealing the finest expressions if our terroirs.

Since 2017 our Technical Director Pablo Bosch and our viticultural team, have worked closely with the Evenstads and the Domaine Serene team to implement techniques in the vineyard and the cellar to elevate wine quality.

The Château de la Crée winemaking team strives to continually combine innovative vinification techniques to accentuate the finest qualities of the legendary terroir found only in Burgundy.

While great wines begin with great vineyards, no detail is left unexplored throughout the winemaking process. There is no cutting corners in our quest to craft the highest quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the world.

Santenay Premier Cru "Les Gravières"

Viticulture

Great Wines Start in the Vineyard

The Château de la Crée is located in Santenay, within the Côte de Beaune, and stretches over 10 hectares, 4 of which are classified as Premier Cru. The vines are situated in Burgundy’s most prestigious Villages : Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard.

A TERROIR-DRIVEN AND DEDICATED APPROACH

Our vines are in the process of transitioning towards organic agriculture. We are implementing practices which are mindful of our terroirs and their unique character. We attach particular importance to the preservation of an exceptional plant heritage, including pruning in harmony with the vine’s sap flow and soil work that preserves biodiversity… The harvest is carried out by hand using small 10-kilogram crates, with careful sorting in the vines and winery.

Winemaking

Revealing the identity of every Climat

“We vinify with as little intervention as possible to let the terroir and the fruit express themselves”. Pablo BOSCH, Technical director Château de la Crée.

OUR WHITE WINES

For our white wines, we perform long, gentle pressings. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels supplemented by concrete and glass containers. The wines are aged for 12 to 14 months, followed by a four-month period in stainless steel tanks to perfect them before bottling.

OUR RED WINES

Our pinot noir grapes are destemmed prior to vinification, producing small amounts of intact grape clusters depending on the vintages and terroirs. We keep SO₂ usage to an absolute minimum. Maceration is gentle while extraction is carried out through infusion and light punch down to reveal each Climat’s unique characteristics.
