Grape & craft
The grapes come from the region’s emblematic grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc. The vines, with an average age of 30 years, are planted on clay-limestone, chalky soils, and flint (silex). Harvesting is carried out mechanically. After a very gentle and slow pneumatic pressing, the must undergoes a cold static settling for 24 hours. It is then racked into stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation, which takes place under controlled low temperatures (around 15°C) over a period of 15 to 20 days. During ageing on fine lees, bâtonnage (the stirring of the lees) is performed, not systematically, but depending on the vintage, adding richness and roundness to the wine. The wine is then fined, and after a settling period, it is racked, filtered, and finally bottled.
