In order to respect the terroir, no chemicals are used in the vineyard and ploughing is only carried out to preserve the soil. The vines are grown in a combination of stone and limestone soils. The hand harvested grapes are sourced exclusively from the single vineyard 'Les Perrieres' which is rated as 1er Cru quality. After a gentle pneumatic pressing the juice is left over night to cold settle before a cool fermentation in steel. Ageing is in french barrique before bottling with a light filtration.
