Grapes : 100% Chenin

Terroir : Clayey-gravelly sand on schist

Age of grapevines : 25 years old Cultivation : Pruning in simple Guyot, spring disbudding and leaf removal. Tillage and cavaillon all rows. This ploughing favors the deep rooting of the vine, which resists the excesse or shortage water.

Grape Harvest : Manual in slatted crates of 12 kg. We did a selection a few days before the harvest leaving only perfect grapes. The grapevine concentrates all of his energy in the harvest.

Vinification : Direct pressing in a pneumatic press and juice seperation. The two fermentations, alcoholic and malolactic, take place in steel tank using wild yeasts and lactic bacteria. Maturing in vats during 6 months and the lees are stirred up on a weekly basis.

Tasting : Lemon yellow color with silver and green reflections. Very expressive nose with juicy peer, pineapple and peach notes. The mouth distinguishes in roundness and balance of the wine, and ends on minerality. We find a great fruit taste and zest of citrus fruits notes at the end.
