Growing Conditions
Calcareous clay dating back to the Late Jurassic, comprised of 1/3 Kimmeridgian (marls characterized by small, fossilized oysters 145 million years old) and 2/3 Portlandian (formations that are superimposed over the Kimmeridgian epoch, approximately 135 million years old).
Grass is grown in most of the vineyards and ploughing and hoeing respect our terroirs and the environment.
Disbudding and green harvest eliminate excess vegetation and regulate yields.
7000 vines/ha.
Winemaking

Aged on fine lees for 6 to 9 months with stirring of the lees as needed depending on the vintage. Gently fined and lightly filtered before bottling.
