​

This cuvée comes from 48 years old vines.

In biological conversion.

 

Ground : Surface soil of sandy loam with weathered granite subsoil. The soils are fully plowed.

​

Winemaking : Manual harvesting with sorting on the plot. All the bunches are placed in vats for a carbonic maceration of 100% whole bunches. The fermentation is indigenous. The maceration lasts about 8 days, and after pressing the free-run juices are assembled in a clay amphora where the alcoholic fermentation ends as well as the malolactic fermentation.

 

Raising : The aging takes place without sulfur until spring. The sulphiting is carried out according to the pH of the wine. Tastings are carried out regularly to follow the evolution of the wine.

​

Bottled under inert gas, without fining or filtration.
