Viticulture

A single plot selection (<1 hectare) from the estate vineyards, farmed in a sustainable fashion (HVE 3 Certified, grass cover, no herbicide / pesticide, pruning & green harvest to limit yields). The vines, which average 25 years of age, are trained double guyot, fruit is harvested by machine. Grapes are machine harvested at night in order to help the concentration of the aromas, the flavors and to control the oxidation of the fruits.

Certified Sustainable

Terroir

100% Silex.

Vineyard

Throughout the year, the vines are under constant observation. Over the seasons we lavish on them the most appropriate care with respect for tradition. In this spirit, we fight, in the most biologically way available, against diseases and parasites, and care for the wine according to lunar rhythms and plant grass in the vineyards in order to restore balance and structure to the ground.

Vinification

Immediately after having been harvested, the grapes are pressed slowly in order to extract all the aromatic power. Fermentation occurs via indigenous yeast in cooled stainless steel tanks over about 3-4 weeks, and then the wine is matured slowly on its fine lees for 8 months. The wine is lightly filtered.
