Special characteristic

Gentle pressing in a pneumatic press. Slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in 350- and 600-litre vessels (second- to sixth-use) for 90 days. Subsequent maturation, including malolactic fermentation, for 12 to 18 months on the fine lees with minimal bâtonnage (lees stirring). Only minimally filtered before bottling.

Firm, intricate nose of lemon, white flowers, and herbs. Complex, intense and succulent on the palate, with great finesse. Tremendous ageing potential.

This is a 1.68-hectare plot of vines planted in 2000. Marl dominates the soil.
