Soil:
The grapes from which this wine is produced come from three different vineyards:
• “Le Méal”: characterized by a soil of very old fluvio-glacial alluvial deposits with a high pebble content.
• “Les Murets”: whose soil is clay-gravel. Its red clays give the wines a full, rich character.
• “Chante-Alouette”: a high-lying terroir whose soil is a mixture of loess and very finely decomposed granite. It gives the wine freshness, salinity and acidity.

Vinification:
The musts are obtained after a long pressing and are lightly settled before fermentation. Part of the fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks and part in demi-muids. The lees are stirred up (bâtonnage) for the first 2-3 months adding texture to the wine.
Ageing:
40-30% takes place in stainless steel vats. The remaining 60-70% is aged in demimuids (600 litres) barrels, 10% of which are made of new wood and 90% of wood previously used for one to three wines.
Alcohol content:
13.5
