Saprolite is the name given to the type of granite found in Beaujolais. This cuvée is composed of a few parcels of the most characteristic saprolite soils of the Moulin à Vent appellation. At the Caves, Greneriers, Bruyères des Thorins, and Burdelines assert a minerality very marked by the soils. This is another face of the Moulin-à-Vent appellation: richness and balance!

Technique

Viticulture

Soils of very weathered granite, foothills and ancient alluvium. The vines are mostly 80 to 100 years old and are traditionally trained in low gobelet. The soil is ploughed 3 to 4 times without herbicides.

Oenology

Manual harvesting in small 35 kilo boxes. Sorting on a vibrating table. Whole bunch vinification for 12 to 15 days before pressing. De-stemming possible depending on the vintage. Aged in vats for 10 months on fine lees with micro-oxygenation. Blending before bottling.
