Presentation
Terroir
The grapes come from selected clay-limestone, tuffeau chalk, and shale terroirs from the southern area of Saumur. Careful ageing in our tuffeau galleries enhances its freshness and finesse.
Vinification
Hand picking, gentle pressing and cool fermentation (18°C) ensure that all the aromas are preserved. The second fermentation is made in the bottle from a selection of the best wines, according to the Méthode Traditionnelle.
Ageing
The bottles are stored horizontally on wooden laths in our tuffeau galleries for a minimum of 12 months before disgorging, to develop an incomparably fine bead.
