Terroir
The vines are planted on a clay-limestone soil from the Cretaceous period located on the Côte Turonienne, also called "Côte des blancs".
In the vineyard
The plots are selected at the approach of the harvest, in August and September, for their ability to offer grapes rich in aromas. The harvest is carried out at the beginning of October, when the grapes reach advanced maturity. Machine harvesting is carried out early in the morning to take advantage of the morning freshness and to preserve the maximum aromatic potential of the grapes.
Winemaking
Gentle pneumatic pressing to extract the best juice from the grapes.
Vinification in stainless steel tanks at low temperature (18°C) so that the fermentation can reveal the maximum aromatic potential of the juice.
