2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes, Sylvain Debord

Sylvain Debord is Burgundian by birth and by heart. He studied at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune in 1991, where he met many talented winegrowers, including Nicolas Potel, with whom he has worked since 2006. From 1994, Sylvain studied at the University of Burgundy, where he contributed to several technical research projects which continued into the 2000s. At the same time, he managed the UB Experimental Viticultural Centre in Marsannay-la-Côte, with which he still maintains regular contact. Sylvain is passionate about respecting the natural environment, cultural environments and conserving the land for future generations, and he vinifies grapes from his close network of vineyard partners, which covers a mosaic of vineyards and appellations. He uses a minimalist and refined approach to produce his signature style, and his wines are elegant, pure and fresh.
