Average yield : 40 hl/ha

Culture:
The vineyards are cultivated using sustainable methods. The vines are grassed and pruned short. Every year we carry out meticulous disbudding, removing double buds to give the main bud maximum ventilation and light. We also carry out green harvesting if necessary.

Winemaking:
The juice is obtained by bleeding for Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and by direct pneumatic pressing for Pinot Gris. This is followed by 48 hours of static cold settling, then alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 18°C. The wine is then matured on its lees until bottling at the estate.
