Viticulture
Many years ago, we chose to take the ambitious high road of ecological transition involving a reduction in the use of chemical products, the recovery of biodiversity, the preservation of the soil’s potential, and the management of resources, particularly water. Our wine estates have achieved HVE3 certification, a high environmental value of farming. We are now converting to organic practices under Ecorcert. The grapes are harvested at night in order to help concentrate the aromas and flavors and control the oxidation of fruits.
Farming
Certified Sustainable
Terroir
Clay soil.
Vineyard
The vines are located on a small plot called 'Désert du P’tit Bannon' located in the village of Vinon.
Vinification
The grapes are cooled in thermoregulated stainless steel vats for a pre-fermentation maceration, during which the juice develops its colors and aromas. The alcoholic fermentation lasts for around 3 weeks, with pumping over and punching twice daily in order to sharpen the wines and release the color and tannins.
Aging
A portion of the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and the other portion in oak barrels (from the local forests of Tronçais and Bertranges) for 9 months where it undergoes its malolactic fermentation.

Tasting Note
This wine displays a charming red ruby color, clear and bright. Its nose is very typical of the Pinot Noir grape variety with notes of violet and spices. Its mouth is powerful, well structured and reminiscent of small red berries. Serve with fish, white meats, and charcuterie.
