Vineyard

Most grapes come from vineyards classified as Vertus Premier Cru. Additionally, the Chardonnay grapes also come from a few Premier Cru parcels just outside Vertus. The vines are on average about 40 years old and thrive on a terroir of chalky soils and chalk. The plots are oriented South, Southeast, or East.

Winemaking

The grapes are hand-picked. They undergo a light pressing upon arrival at the winery. The spontaneous fermentation, initiated by indigenous yeasts, is followed by 7 months of aging on the lees, with 75% of the juice maturing in stainless steel tanks and 25% in small oak barrels. Only a very limited amount of sulfites is added during vinification. The blend consists of three consecutive vintages supplemented with 20% reserve wines. The dosage is 6 grams per liter.
