Profile & Story
Vines grown on a terroir of flinty clays and limestone, located on the hills between Chavignol and Sancerre. Yields are deliberately low, with high-density cultivation and inter-row grassing. Gentle pressing as soon as the harvest is received to preserve the aromatic potential of the grapes. Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats (15-18°C). Aged for 5-6 months on its lees before bottling.
Tasting Notes
An expressive nose of citrus fruit and pineapple precedes a round, brilliant palate with hints of eucalyptus, followed by a fresh, mineral finish typical of its appellation.
