Description
Terroir
A blend from three of the Domaine's different terroirs: En Sauvagny, En Mailloche and Les Bruyères.
Soil of grey Lias marl.
Vines predominantly south-east facing.
Vinification and Ageing
The grapes are mostly hand-picked. Pneumatic pressing. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in a tank.
Six years and three months' ageing in barrels in well-aired attics, which leads to the evaporation of approximately 38% of the Savagnin. During ageing, a veil of yeast develops, transforming the Savagnin into Vin Jaune.
