His father was a geologist which led his a natural interest in nature. After the family moved to the Jura area, he took on a job working as a forest manager of several nearby vineyards. The interest in viticulture bloomed and the rest is history. Florent got his feet wet working with Jean Rijckaert where he continued a minimalist style of winemaking. While he has begun his own label, he still maintains the show stopping wines for Rijckaert. He makes wines in the Jura and Macon regions finding inspiration from the land around him as well as from the exprimentalism of those whose foundation he’s learned from. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Chardonnay comes from old vines in the northern Mâconnais, including vineyards around Cruzille, Chardonnay, and Burgy, where clay-limestone soils and higher elevations help keep things fresh. The grapes are hand harvested and slowly and gently pressed before spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. It then spends around ten to twelve months in mostly older oak, resting on its lees without bâtonnage or fining. The oak is there for élevage, not to make the wine taste like oak, which is very much the Rijckaert way. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wineCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45499106230295,"sku":"French:FR041RVV004-24","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Rijckaert_Macon_Villages_2024.jpg?v=1788968830","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/rijckaert-macon-villages-vieilles-vignes-2024","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
