More infoGuillaume Bot and Tomoko Kuriyama offer a lovely Aligoté from the Mainbey terroir, predominantly planted with Chardonnay.
The “Mainbey” locality is the largest acquisition of the estate. This land is divided into four plots: three of Chardonnay and one of Aligoté. The vines thrive in an extremely stony soil with blocks of limestone, and are planted at an altitude of 470 metres, just above the village of Fussey. These Aligoté vines, planted over 40 years ago, benefit from organic farming, as well as several biodynamic and phytotherapeutic methods. The latter method involves the use of copper to tackle downy mildew and skimmed milk to fight powdery mildew.
In the winery, the pressing process is quite lengthy, potentially lasting up to six hours depending on the quality of the grapes. This is followed by fermentation triggered by native yeasts, then ageing in 228 L or 600 L barrels for at least a year. The addition of sulphur is controlled and is only done if necessary.
Chanterêves produces a white wine that combines elegance and freshness, perfectly pairing with your finest fish dishes or seafood platters.
About the Producer Chanterêves
Referred to as the ‘Burgundy revelation’ time and again, Chanterêves is a haute-couture micro-négoces run by Guillaume Bot and Tomoko Kuriyama. This venture was founded in 2010 in Savigny-lès-Beaune, with both founders having taken their first steps in renowned estates. Guillaume Bot worked at the Burgundy estates Simon Bize and Etienne Sauzet. Meanwhile, Tamaki Kuriyama, gained experience in the Rheingau region of Germany, learning extensively from Peter Jakob Kühn, Georg Breuer, Paul Fürst and Friedrich Altenkirch. Discerning wine lovers are sure to pick up on the slightly Germanic influence in this négociant’s white wines!
They owe their success to their interest in phytotherapy, which allows them to cultivate beautiful grapes responsibly and vinify them into wines classified under lesser-known appellations (Maranges, for example) that are well worth discovering. The grapes they use are organically grown, but not all of their wines have been certified yet. Since 2017, they even have their own old Aligoté vines in Ladoix. The estate vinifies its wines with great care, without chemical inputs and using very little sulphur, seeking to preserve the quality of the grapes. The resulting wines, each precise and refined, express their individual plots and terroirs.
