"Where it all started with our adventure, our baby Joujou, made from old gamay vines from next to our house where we let our sheep and pigs graze and work during the wintertime. Lots of manual labour from ourselfs during the rest of the year, but this turns out to some great grapes. Terroir is a mix of decomposed granite, quartz and clay. Yield it not that high (like the rest of our plots and gives us only around 18Hl/ha). After taking the grapes from the land it will undergo a semi carbonic in concrete and stainless steel with a bit direct press gamay. After pressing we put it together in one big fiberglass dome where the wine has still room to dance and finish the fermentation. Then aged for more than 10 months before bottling in the same dome. Crazy energetic wine with a great acidity."

"For quite a bit Ousia is part of the family range of Clos Bateau. One of the creative wines we decided to make. We like to brainstorm and come up with different ideas. Not only what the taste can be like but also the visual aspect. Then the idea of Ousia came to us, we had this idea of freshness and fruitiness of the direct press from the gamay and chardonnay, but we also wanted to have a little bit more structure to it. That’s when we decided to do a press direct of gamay and chardonnay and include whole bunch chardonnay in the tank to have a small maceration. It turned out to be a perfect marriage."

A subtle, highly successful blend of Gamay and Aligoté grapes.

"When we look from our house to the mountain direction Regnie-Durette, there is a parcel of almost a half hectare that belongs to us. It’s quite funny because half of it is Regnie and the other side is Lantignie. Both villages calls it Croix Pennet, but only Lantignié uses 2 times the n. The exposition is south facing and it’s full of big granite rocks. It’s a terroir specific and every year this parcellaire wine have this Croix Pen(n)et taste which is hard to explain. We do some longer macerations, and we age 70% on Burgundy barrels."

"Unfortunatly we didn’t launched our special cuvée sauvage last year. But we’re happy to announce that we can offer Sauvage ’23. It’s from our famous parcelle sauvage, which was abandoned for couple a of years before we arrive. This means special grapes but incredibly low yield: 6 HL/ha. Long aging of 10 months in fiberglass which expresses the terroir quit amazing."
