P'tit Grobis

Nicolas’ has more than 30 different micro-vineyards planted with up to 80 year-old Gamay and Chardonnay. The plots are situated on both sides of a densely forested coteaux, some of which have an altitude 450-560 meters and a gradient of 35 to 55%. Working vines in a cool and damp microclimate like this is a challenge, because the yields are generally quite low and there’s a high risk of mushroom diseases and the like, especially in cold or rainy years.

However, this is exactly what gives Nicolas’ wines their freshness and crisp mineral feel and really makes them something special.
