Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Vineyard management : The vineyard is managed biodynamically. No chemical phytosanitary products are used. The soils are plowed. Pollinator and nematicide plants are sown in the rows. The preparations used come solely from transformed plant, animal, and mineral materials. The qualities and particularities of each terroir are thus respected.

Soils: The soil consists of clays and coarse flint elements. The subsoil is made up of Tuffeau, a soft white limestone rock through which the roots create a passage.

Parcel area : 3 ha.

Grape variety: chenin blanc.

Harvest: manual with successive sorting.

Age of the vines: 30 to 100 years.

Vinification: After pressing, alcoholic fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts in demi-muids, wooden barrels with a capacity of 600 liters. It can last up to six months. Malolactic fermentation is not sought. Aging is done on fine lees, still in demi-muids (total duration: 9 months).

Food and wine pairings: Grilled fish, shellfish, goat cheese.

Serving temperature: 11-12°c.
