​"The immaculate and precise winemaking at Chanterêves is inspired by old wisdom and new techniques. Both Guillaume Bott and Tomoko are trained enologists. For whites they press the whole cluster grapes with light or no SO2 addition to the must. Only indigenous yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation. No fining, sometimes one light filtration of about 50% of the final blend. Red wines are all 100% whole cluster fermented. No mechanical pump-overs. Punch downs are done with their feet. The wines are bottled in January or February after two winters in their cold cellar. Fermentation is in old oak and the wines are aged in used oak barrels. Rarely are any new barrels used."-John Truax

The lieu-dit “Bas des Ees” is located close to the village of Marey-les-Fussey. It is the closest parcel to the border with Hautes Côtes de Nuits but still on the side of Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Surrounded by pastures and far away from the neighboring parcels, this isolation is beneficial, especially against powdery mildew pressure, and the parcel stays healthy with minimal spraying. Given its high altitude of 470 meters, it is the last parcel picked. This also explains its freshness and tension.
