Plot selection : The vineyards are located at 130 meters up hill on a gently sloping south-east facing slope. The clay-limestone soil is composed of clay loam and fragments of limestone from the erosion of the slopes, alternating with marls and marly-limestones.
Winemaking and Aging : Harvest by hand. Entirely destemmed. Pressing after a short low temperature skin maceration. Cold settling without excess. Natural yeasts. Temperature control around 18°C during the winemaking process. Alcoholic fermentation and aging in French oak tuns with lees and ovoid vat (without stirring of the lees) for 9 to 12 months. Aging in bottle for a minimum of 1 year before the sale.
Tasting : This wine has a pale and bright colour. A first nose with notes of honeysuckle, crushed hazelnuts. The nose then develops on aromas of small butter biscuits, vanilla pod. Very aromatic, floral and complex.
In mouth, a wine with a lot of finesse, elegant, long. We find the aromas of the nose, added to notes of lychee. Elegant and balanced.
