Our know-how
From vineyard to cellar
Winemaking
Once hand-harvested, the grapes are pressed and placed in tanks for vinification. The wine is aged for 8 to 12 months in French oak barrels: 20% new barrels, 30% 500-liter barrels that have already held two wines, and 50% 228-liter barrels that have already held two wines.

The experience
Sensory expression
Tasting notes
A magical nose of great finesse, with aromas of linden, dried flowers, hawthorn and elderflower. After aeration, intense notes of butter and honey. The substance is fine, with harmony between richness and acidity. Lovely minerality. Very long finish on fruity notes.
