Details of the location

The vineyards extend over an east-facing zone at 550 to 600 meters above sea level. They are situated on an alluvial cone composed of limestone debris, mainly angular dolomite rocks, with a fine soil of reddish clay. The soil is very deep, loose, well-aerated, and well-drained.

From grape to wine

The whole grapes are pressed, followed by natural sedimentation to remove impurities. The wine then matures for 11 months in large wooden barrels with continuous bâtonnage. Finally, the wine matures for an additional four months in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees.
