About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie at elevations of 300–400 m and face from south to south-east. The soils are rich in limestone and sandstone.

Grapes

Vinification

The grapes are harvested manually and selected by hand at the end of September. A short maceration takes place in the press. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks; the production description specifically characterizes this stage as malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

After fermentation, the wine remains on its lees with frequent bâtonnage.

Serving and pairing

Pair with shellfish, fish dishes or medium-aged cheeses.
