Terroir
Sand on limestone formation
Vineyard managment
Vines averaging 30 years old.
The soil is worked in its entirety, with respect for the environment and the plant, in Organic Agriculture. Grass cover is natural. The biodynamic approach (certification in progress) enables us to be as close as possible to the terroir, with a constant search for balance between the vine and its environment.
Vinification
Hand-harvested, hand-sorted in the winery. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts, short maceration and traditional vinification without the addition of sulfite. Aged for approximately 6 months in concrete tanks.
Tasting
Served around 16°C
The nose reveals a bouquet of black fruits, with a predominance of blackberry and blueberry. The attack is supple and fresh, with raspberry and cherry aromas and the minerality typical of the terroir. The length is marked by pepper.
