Location
Plot located within the Clos Pitois, in the Morgeot vineyard.
Terroir
Shallow limestone soil, rich in stones.
In the vineyard
Guyot pruning with very early debudding and leaf removal (at the floral cap fall stage).
Harvest
100% manual harvest with rigorous sorting directly in the vineyard.
Winemaking
Vinified with 60% to 80% whole bunches in a temperature-controlled stainless steel vat. Cold maceration for 3 to 4 days with gentle pump-overs to allow yeast development. Alcoholic fermentation starts after a few days, maintaining temperatures between 16°C and 20°C. Once all sugars are consumed, the maceration ends with a warm phase to fix color and soften the tannins.
Ageing
Aged for 12 months in 228L oak barrels, 20% of which are new. Malolactic fermentation takes place during barrel ageing.
