The "Préty" takes its name from a specific parcel in the village of the same name, characterized by argillo-calcari (clay-limestone) soils that allow the Chardonnay roots to descend deep into the ground, extracting a subtle minerality and a distinctive sapidity. With this cuvée, Renaud wants to give us a very clear vision of a "southern" Chardonnay: it is an invitation to lightness, as the evocative name suggests (literally "on a cloud").

The tasting is delicate, featuring white flowers, notes of fresh citrus and candied lemon, and a very subtle buttery nuance typical of the grape variety, which never overpowers the freshness. On the palate, the sensation is exactly that "cloud" promised by the name: a texture that is setosa (silky) and enveloping, balanced by a vibrant acidity. The finish is clean, with a chalky mineral return that recalls the limestone terroir.

From the producer

Renaud Boyer

Renaud Boyer is a Burgundian winemaker who, since 2004, has been looking after around 3 hectares of family property in the Côte de Beaune. The small winery that belonged to his grandfather is located in Mersault, one of the key territories of classic Burgundy. He works the vineyards of his uncle, Thierry Guyot, a forerunner of organic farming who was already working biodynamically in 1986.

An upright and patient winemaker, Renaud has chosen the path that suits him best: without proclamations or concessions, he defines himself as an adept of natural viticulture and free winemaking, without sulphites. He produces wines that perfectly match the vintage. When, in 2017, the Appellation Commission did not like the atypical nature of his wines, in response Renaud changed the label of his Saint-Romain, a magnificent historic parcel, calling it ‘SR’ and thus bottling it as generic Burgundy. Today the wine is back in the AOC, too good even for the bureaucrats who had previously excluded it.
