Details

From the Winery:

Vineyard management: showcasing the potential of a truly great terroir -This locality’s steep slopes require that we work manually or use caterpillar tractors. -Organic fertilizers, green manure and only very light turning of the soil: respects the soil’s structure and microbial life. -Guyot-Poussard pruning: balances the vine, short pruning during the first years encourages good root development of the young plants. -Disbudding: limits yield and maintains the balance of the vine. -Weeding and control of mechanical grass seeding: respects the soil’s microbial life. -Temporary or permanent growing of crop cover: helps control vine growth and water supply while limiting erosion. -Technical monitoring plot by plot: spraying is optimized and performed judiciously.

Vinification techniques: crafting wines that reflect the complexity of the terroir and the equilibrium of the vintage -Handpicking: ensures that the fruit remains intact; sorting takes place in the vineyard. -The grapes are pressed immediately using a pneumatic press. The must is allowed to cold settle for 48 to 72 hours before being racked: this preserves the aromas and flavours and eliminates any vegetal debris or dust. -Long fermentation with sequential yeasting under monitored temperatures in stainless steel tanks and 400-L barrels: develops the wine’s aromatic complexity. -Aged on full fermentation lees until the first racking, which takes place between February and April: develops minerality. -Blending of the tank and barrel-aged wines: the proportion of barrel-aged wine varies according to the vintage but does not exceed 30% of the final blend. -Bentonite fined, then filtered: enhances the flavours and aromas and stabilizes the wine. -Estate-bottled by us, the wine is stored for 2 months before being released: this allows the wines to be given the chance to rest after having been bottled.
