At Chanterêves, the Élevage Prolongé cuvées (Mainbey Aligoté or Hautes-Côtes de Beaune) remain on their lees in barrels for up to 22 months instead of the normal 11 months.

The lieu-dit “Mainbey” is located on the other side of the small valley that separates it from the village of Fussey, at a high altitude of 470 meters. It is the biggest lieu-dit of the domaine, divided into three Chardonnay parcels and one Aligoté parcel. All of the Chardonnay parcels are in good health with modest vigor. The farming is more or less identical to the Chardonnay on “Les Monts de Fussey. 
  • Terroir: On the slope of a valley adjacent to the village of Fussey, at 470m altitude. Very stony soils with big blocks of limestone.
  • Viticulture (domaine): Organic with biodynamic methods and phytotherapy (see domaine profile for full details).
  • Vinification: Crushed, long (6-hour) press cycle, ambient yeast fermentation with pied de cuve, aged for 10-12 months in 228L and/or 600L barrels, blended and aged with the fine lees in stainless steel tanks for an additional 5-7 months, no fining, occasional light filtration, minimal SO2 addition only if necessary during aging and before bottling.
