Terroir

AGE OF VINES: 50 years.

LOCATION: Monts Damnés lieu-dit, cultivated since the 10th century by Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Saint-Satur. The steepness exceeds 40° in places, ensuring excellent drainage for the vines; however, farming remains exceptionally challenging, requiring non-mechanised care and manual harvesting.

EXPOSURE: South/South-West.

SOIL: Kimmeridgian marls soil, locally known as "terres blanches" (white soils). Formed by a blend of clay and fossilised shells, this terroir gives birth to exceptional white wines, rich and opulent, which have earned a reputation of excellence.

Viticulture & Vinification

HARVEST: manual, in 12 kg crates.

YIELD: N/A.

SORTING: by hand on a sorting table.

VINIFICATION:

  • slow pressing using a Coquard-type hydraulic press
  • alcoholic (indigenous yeasts) and malolactic fermentations in 600-liter oak barrels

AGEING: 12 months in 600-liter oak barrels.

BOTTLING: without fining or filtration.
