This vineyard has been in Chloé's family since 1967, when her grandparents Annie and Louis Bassy acquired a few hectares on the slopes of Mont Brouilly at a time when most small growers sold their fruit straight to the négociants.
When Jonathan and Chloé took over in 2017, they kept that independence and added their own conviction: organic farming, biodynamic principles, and agroforestry practices that include planting hedges and trees throughout the vineyard to build soil health and prevent erosion. It's a rock-solid commitment to the land, and it shows in the glass.
La Croquante draws from the pink granite soils of Brouilly specifically, whole-cluster fermented with native yeasts and aged in old foudres before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
