Tasting Notes

Green apple, citrus zest and stony minerality combine in a Chardonnay that feels both focused and effortless. Fresh and beautifully balanced, this Saint-Aubin delivers remarkable precision while retaining plenty of charm and drinkability.

About Grachet Duchemin

Swapping the classroom for the family vineyards in 2018, husband-and-wife duo Marion and Arnaud Grachet bring a breath of fresh air to their 10 hectares of boutique Côte de Beaune vines. Guided by a deeply respectful, sustainable philosophy, they craft wonderfully vibrant expressions that balance an effortless, modern finesse with a beautifully refreshing energy.

About Burgundy

Burgundy is France’s most detailed and site-driven region. Stretching from the cool slopes of Chablis in the north down through the Côte d’Or to the Mâconnais in the south. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the foundations here, but the real story is how each village and vineyard expresses them differently. The Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune form the region’s core, while areas like the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais add a broader mix of styles and accessibility. Burgundy is defined by careful vineyard work, long-established classifications and a focus on clarity of place rather than heavy winemaking influence.
