Several types of soil coexist in this climate. Our Domaine’s parcel is located in the mid-valley area. A whitish and chalky limestone clay is predominant in its steepest part, while the west side has browner clay soils. Wines made from the vines that grow here are tight, with saline notes and a wonderful creamy mouthfeel. This Grand Cru has the distinction of being accessible and generous, even in its youth.
Winemaking
No added yeast, long fermentation using indigenous yeasts, in temperature-controlled vats. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Long moderately cold stabilisation. Fining using bentonite if necessary. The wine is gently filtered once before bottling.
Ageing
Matured for at least 18 months. In stainless steel tanks, with the least possible handling.
