Vineyard
This vineyard is located between 300 and 400 meters in altitude. The 50 year old vines occupy the slopes of the valleys cutting into the Jurassic limestone plateaus, to the west of 'the Côte.' The substrate is identical to that of the Côte, but the surface formations are very thin, or even nonexistent.
Vinification
The grapes are manually harvested when they reach optimum maturity. The grapes are then strictly sorted and destemmed. Transferred into a stainless steel vat, the berries are macerated with the must and
fermented at a controlled temperature between 25°C and 30°C until it is dry. Olivier does some pigeage and remontage for a nice extraction of the color, aromas and tannins.
Aging
Aged in oak barrels with 25% new oak barrels. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation while it stays on fine lees for 24 months.

Tasting Note
Intense ruby color. The nose is really expressive, aromas of dark fruits, such as blackberries and even spices. On the palate, the tannins are silky, ample profile, really high level quality. Enjoy with duck breast with a cherry reduction, mushroom risotto, or compte cheese.
