| Climate |
Altitude: 400 m. a.s.l. Exposure: North, South, West, East. |
| Soil composition |
Cru from a single vineyard on a hillside, stony soil made of marl and clayey schist. |
| Harvest |
By hand, not before mid-September, with small 15 kg perforated boxes. |
| Vinification |
After extremely soft crushing and destemming to leave the grapes intact, alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously, thanks to the indigenous yeasts, in temperature-controlled steel tanks for about 15 days. On average, the subsequent maceration of the skins lasts another three to four weeks. Malolactic fermentation involves only the first must, i.e. the wine obtained from pressing the marc is never used for the production of the company's and occurs spontaneously, without inoculation of bacteria. |
| Ageing |
This is followed by at least 24 months of ageing on the noble lees in the best French oak barrels from Allier, Nevers and Tronçais. |
