About Sur le Bois

Located in Maranges, Burgundy, France, this French Chardonnay derives its name from its picturesque surroundings. “Sur Le Bois,” meaning “affected by the woods,” pays homage to the fact that the vineyard is enveloped by a serene forest. Situated in the heart of Maranges, it holds a prominent position compared to the nearby En Goty vineyard. What sets Sur Le Bois apart is its unique composition. The winemaking process further enhances its character, as it undergoes fermentation and aging in a combination of concrete eggs and a small percentage of new oak barrels. This method allows for the essence of the wine to shine, crafting a vibrant, fruity, and zesty flavor profile.
