Château de Chamilly

Château de Chamilly stands in the heart of a green valley situated to the north of the Côte Chalonnaise, 20 minutes south of Beaune. It was built during the 17th century by Noël Bouton (lieutenant general of the armies of King Louis XIV, Governor of Strasbourg and Marquis of Chamilly), on the foundations of a 14th century fortified farm. The Desfontaine family bought it, along with the surrounding land, at the beginning of the 19th century. Taken with the buildings, the land and the incomparable lifestyle, the Desfontaine family continually restore and develop the surroundings.

Overt, aromatic and fruit packed, the structure is tight and lean with an impressive streak of minerality sown through the structural core. There are notes of white peach, Granny Smith apple with a mouthwatering tangy acidity. A delicious wine!
The grapes are hand-picked in small baskets and fermented in stainless steel. The wine is settled in tank on fine lees for 10 months prior to bottling There is no oak aging at all.
