This wine is derived from a 0.25-hectare vineyard, consisting of 15 rows of co-planted Burgundian Pinot clones, all selected through massale propagation in 2007. The soil is a rich blend of clay and limestone, interspersed with Kimmeridgian bands, akin to those found in Chablis and Chavignol, lending a unique mineral profile. The vineyard is maintained through organic practices. The production involves only the first press of hand-harvested grapes, which are then foot-crushed, ensuring a gentle extraction. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, preserving the wine's authentic expression. It is then bottled unfined and unfiltered, retaining its natural essence. The wine undergoes a lengthy 36-month aging sur lie, adding complexity without any dosage, to enhance its purity and texture.
