GEOLOGY The grapes come from the vineyards situated on the regional appellation area on the Côte de
Beaune.
Soil: clay and limestone.
The pruning is done in Guyot with different works during the green season. (Disbudding,
trellising, topping).

VINIFICATION Manual harvest, sorting on vine then on a sorting table (depending on certain years, u of an
optical sorter) and then at the winery.

AGEING TThe grapes after a light crushing and destemming are put whole in stainless steel tanks. A
small part of the whole harvest can be incorporated depending on the state of the raw material.
After a cold maceration of a few days, the active phase of fermentation takes place with
temperature control. During this period, the wine is pumped over and/or punched down. After
pneumatic pressing the wines are put into barrels (about 30% new wood) where the maturing
process takes place. 15 months for this wine, during which time the malolactic fermentation
took place. One month before bottling, the wine from the different barrels is assembled in vats.
There is no gluing, just a light lenticular filtration before bottling. Some modifications on the
overall technique can be made depending on the vintage. The bottling is done according to the
lunar calendar.

TASTING NOTE Rich wine with generally notes of red fruits. Elegant nose with aromas of small red fruits
(blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry). On the palate, supple entry and silky tannins. Good power.

FOOD PAIRING Red meats, poultry, cheese or as an "aperitif".
