Technique

Viticulture

Average age of the vines: 45 years. Terraced vineyard facing south-east on granitic soil in the commune of Chavanay. It is very uneven, which makes mechanisation impossible. The vines are maintained manually. Phytosanitary treatments are carried out with organic products. 7'000 vines/hectare. 1'500 bottles. Single Guyot pruning.

Oenology

Harvested by hand, when fully ripe, in small boxes. Destemmed grapes macerated in open barrels. Long vatting period of 2 to 3 weeks. Aged in barrels for 18 months (30% new wood).
