Terroir
East-south-east facing hillside, on “Tuffeau” limestone from the Upper Turonian.
Vinification
Hand harvested. Moved through the winery by gravity.
Slow and gentle maceration, without harsh extraction, in order to reveal the aromatic complexity of this great terroir
Ageing
12 months on lees in 500 litre barrels to open up the wine while avoiding obvious oak aromas, then time in stainless steel vat before bottling.
