A floral touch testifies to the high proportion of Chardonnay while the depth of the Pinot Noir is expressed in the form of red fruits and appealing bitter notes.
Made with 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir
Technical notes
The year 2012 was memorable for a historic hailstorm which reduced yields considerably. The surviving grapes developed harmoniously and produced a low quantity vintage deemed excellent.
Only the juices from first pressing – the cuvées - are used with mechanical low-pressure presses and use of gravity to avoid pumping, which avoids oxidisation. Minimal use of sulphur; Natural settling; Alcoholic fermentation for roughly 2 weeks at low temperature; followed by total and natural malolactic fermentation; No filtering.
Assemblage: 100% of the wines are made in stainless steel vats in order to preserve as much freshness as possible.
Dosage: 5.6 g/l
