Description
Terroir
Blend from a selection of the Domaine's terroirs, particularly the plots known as Les Bruyères and En Sauvagny, on grey Lias marl and scree soils.
Vineyard predominantly south-east facing.
Vinification and Ageing
A subtle blend of Chardonnay (70%) and Savagnin (30%).
It takes 36 months' ageing to obtain a veil of yeast in the barrels of Savagnin.
Meanwhile the Chardonnay is aged in wooden tuns prior to blending.
