Geography & Terroir
Vines located in the Val de Sorne steephead valley (slopes to the south of Montaigu).
Rhaetian clay-limestone soil.
South/south-east facing.
Cultivation Techniques
Biodynamic vineyard, inspected and certified by Demeter France since 2003: we use horn manure (500P), silica (501) and herbal tea treatments. These techniques preserve the indigenous yeasts which contribute to the authenticity and purity of the wines. Exclusively hand-picked, with sorting in the vineyard and rapid transport in small containers so as not to damage the grapes, fermented without S02.
Grape Variety
85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir.
Vinification
The base wines are fermented with natural yeasts and aged in oak barrels and tuns (the last fraction of the juice to be pressed from the grapes is discarded for this cuvée).
The wine is bottled in the spring, on a “flower” day, before being laid down to age on racks for at least 12 months.
Disgorging without dosage.
