The Vineyard

The Wine

The favorite wine of Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, who visited Burgundy and its vineyards in 1787, bears the name of the "Goutte d'Or" parcel from which it originates, owing to the quantity of flint in the soil, shaped like drops and golden in color.

Vinification and Aging

Grape Variety

Chardonnay (100%)
