Grape variety

Chardonnay 100%

Terroir

Schistose marls. The vines are trellised and the grapes are harvested at optimum maturity in order to express a maximum of fruit, while maintaining a beautiful freshness.

Vinification

The grapes are pressed after a skin maceration of 4 to 5 hours. After cooling, the juices remain in static settling for 48 hours, then are cleared to be fermented at 14°C, a portion in stainless stell vat and a portion in oak barrels. Once the vinification is completed, the two parts are assembled ( 30% vinified in barrels) Bottling is carried out quickly, always with the aim of optimizing the freshness of the product.

Nose

Notes of citrus and white fruits

Palate

The palate presents a good balance between freshness, minerality and volume. Brioche notes are brought by the wood fermentation.
