Note:
From 4 plots of this rare and unique flint (silex) terrior, which perfectly showcases the exceptional character of the terroir. The elegant and refined acidity carries the round fruit aromas and floral notes through to a mineral finish that lingers long aftertaste.
It provides a pleasant sensation of freshness and offers a beautiful aromatic persistence.

Wine-making:
The clay-siliceous terroir called “ Silex ” gives the wine a strong, straightforward personality and characteristic flint notes .
Four of the plots of vines, aged 40-45 years, thrive on this very special terroir.
The harvest is carried out at optimal maturity and the grapes are transferred to the press by vibration. After a long pneumatic pressing at low pressure, the juice flows by gravity from the press to the tank to avoid handling the grapes and juices. This is followed by a 12-hour cold static settling (natural settling of suspended particles) followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
This wine will be aged in stainless steel vats for 6 to 7 months on its fine lees to give it aromatic richness . It will then be clarified, stabilized and bottled by us at the estate. From the vine to the bottle, everything is done to respect and reveal the quality and expression of the terroirs .
