- Intense and aromatic notes of lemon, exotic fruit, and floral notes lead to an explosion of freshness on the palate, with beautiful balance and the mineral identity of Sancerre.
The grapes were slowly pressed, and the must was fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of between 18 to 23°C. Vinification took place inertly; nitrogen protected the wine from contact with the air. Once fermentation was complete, 80% of the wine was refined in concrete tanks on the fine lees. In comparison, 20% matured in large wooden vats, imparting subtle complexity, and the maturation period lasted for seven to nine months.

Winery | The grapes come from a south-to-south-easterly facing vineyard situated at 280 meters above sea level in the Sancerre appellation. The vines have an average age of 25 years and are planted at a density of 8,000 to 10,000 vines per hectare, yielding between 40 to 53 hl/ha. The soils comprise Caillottes, limestone, and clay pebbles, which reflect the sunlight on the vines, encouraging fruit ripening. The vineyard is certified organic, chemical preparations are not employed, and the vineyard is converted to biodynamic certification. The biodynamic philosophy recognizes the connection between all living things, the importance of biodiversity, and sustainability, following the lunar cycles, earth rhythms, astrology, and the interconnection between these energy sources to dictate the timing of viticultural activity. The vineyard is cultivated manually, except ploughing and the grapes are hand-harvested. |
