Terroir
This terroir is dominated by Turonian limestone from the secondary era.
In the vineyard
The selected vines have naturally low yields, with a few small bunches per vine, very golden at harvest time.
Winemaking
Harvesting at the end of October, when the grapes have reached the beginning of over-ripeness.
Delicate pneumatic pressing and careful settling. Vinification with temperature control (17 to 19°C) to preserve the aromatic potential of the Chenin Blanc.
