About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards have carbonate soils and white clay.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at the end of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled 26–29 °C, with approximately 20 days of skin contact. Malolactic fermentation also occurs in stainless steel.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12 months in 225 L barrels made from French oak sourced from Allier and Tronçais, followed by 12 months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Serving and pairing

Decant for 30 minutes before serving.
