80% Pinot Meunier
20% Pinot Noir

Vineyard:

Terroir: sandy-gravelly on a sandy-clay
subsoilAverage age of the vines: 40 years
Yield: 35 hl/ha
Planting density: 4,000 to 6,000 vines/ha

Culture:

The vineyard is managed in sustainable farming. The vines are grassed and pruned short. Every year, we carry out meticulous disbudding with the removal of double buds to offer the main bud maximum aeration and light in order to obtain optimal ripeness. We also carry out a green harvest if necessary.

Winemaking:

The harvest is destemmed before a cold pre-fermentation maceration of 48 hours. This is followed by traditional alcoholic fermentation at 25 °C in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with daily pumping over. The maceration lasts about fifteen days before ageing in stainless steel vats and bottling at the property.
