TERROIR
The Chardonnay vines are planted on plots located east of Verzy, where the Campanian chalk, exceptionally rich in flint, is outcropping. This terroir, formed in the Upper Cretaceous (Santonian-Campanian) 80 million years ago, is testament of a formerly calm, shallow sea presence, at the bottom of which living organisms skeletons were sedimented to form this chalk.
WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING
The vines are grown according the Organic Farming principles.
The alcoholic fermentation starts with the a native yeasts sourdough starter. The must, with its high natural acidity, carries out its malolactic fermentation, which allows the wine not to be treated with sulphite and ensures a microbial stabilization.
It is aged on fine and coarse lees for 6 months, half in oak barrels, half in vats. It is then bottled without sticking or filtration, and aged on slats for 60 months in the estate cellars.
No sugar is added after disgorgement.
