Anecdotes about the domain
The vines are overlooked by the Saint-Hilaire tower built in 1862, from which the Virgin dominates and protects. The bell inside has particular virtues. Legend has it that any young girl who comes on Easter Monday to ring the bell 3 times will get married in the year.
The domain's short story
Enjoying the southern sun on the hill of Saint Hilaire, our vines are isolated in the middle of forests and fields. The vines are cultivated on a clayey-limestone soil mixing Upper Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian. The estate offers a 100% Chardonnay grape variety.
The winemaker's pride
In the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, located between Mercurey and Rully, the Domaine de la Tour Saint-Hilaire enjoys an exceptional view, between vineyards, meadows and forests. A historic property with a long history, this unique property offers a 360° view of the Burgundy vineyards, from the Côte de Beaune to the Mâconnais mountains. The estate is composed of one hectare of chardonnay planted on a clay-limestone soil. This clay-limestone soil has the particularity to have a base of kimmeridgian rocks. This typicality is found in Chablis. It is in 2014 that Luc Cadel, Valentin's father, will begin to work the vineyard. Far from being the owner of his land, he finally managed to become the owner of these lands. He now owns 80 hectares of forest and quarry.
