Presentation
Although of Celtic origin, the term "Seine" is closely associated with France, as it refers to the main river that flows through the country for over 480 miles. According to legend, Saint-Seine was a descendant of the Celtic goddess "Sequana," who was the patroness of the Seine. It is said that she lived along the riverbanks, cultivating various quality products, including wine, for monks and the less fortunate.
Terroir

The winemaking process starts with a two-day cold pre-fermentation maceration to obtain fresh fruits, followed by a two-week maceration.
Ageing
Aging lasts about 6 months in French oak.
Bottling is done early to capture the primary aromas of the grape.
