The wine
Bright with golden reflections, showing concentrated apricot, lemon and delicate toast. The mouthfeel is mellow and ample, with a medium-bodied structure.
En Vesveau is a lieu-dit in Saint-Aubin, the commune that climbs the hillside towards Chevalier-Montrachet and shares its slope, which is why Saint-Aubin punches so far above its price. Carefully selected fruit, gently pressed in a pneumatic press before barrel fermentation.

Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi
View all Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi winesDomaine du Château Philippe le Hardi is one of Burgundy largest single estates, centred on a historic château in the Côte Chalonnaise. Named for the medieval Duke Philip the Bold, who championed Pinot Noir, it farms an impressive spread from Mercurey to the grand crus of the Côte d'Or. Few domaines offer such range.
The estate farms sustainably across a mosaic of terroirs, vinifying each with care and well-judged oak. From everyday Bourgogne to grand cru, the wines share a house signature of balance, freshness, and polish. There is real quality at every level.
The range spans crisp Chalonnaise whites, characterful Mercurey reds, and a fine selection of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune crus. Each traces the character of its appellation with confidence.
To pour a Philippe le Hardi wine is to taste the breadth of Burgundy from a single, storied estate. Polished, balanced, and dependable, these are wines for every table.
