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

Aged for around 10 months in new oak barrels (300 liters) from the local forest to gain fullness and complexity.
