Tasting Notes

Straw yellow. The nose is expressed with hints of nectarine and apples, resinous notes and chalky tones. On the palate it is fresh, savory and with excellent balance.

Cultivation of vines

The vines are grown organically and a simple guyot pruning is used. All the work in the vineyard is done by hand. The vines are planted at a density of 10,000 plants per hectare.

Vinification and aging

Once harvested, all the grapes are destemmed, undergo a cold maceration and ferment with natural yeasts. Yann prefers a long and slow lifting on the fine lees. The grapes are pressed in the tank and decanted in barriques where they rest for 16 months. Aged in 228 liter two year old barriques for 16 months. Bottled unfiltered.
