100% Cabernet Franc, from 60-year-old vines, grown biodynamically (certified organic by Ecocert and biodynamic by Biodyvin) and planted on a Jurassic-era plateau made up of siliceous gravel mixed with slightly clayey earth. Free of any limestone, the soil permits for the growth of very deep roots. The climate allows for slow, gradual ripening. Manual harvest and low yields, of around 20 hl/ha. Vinification is meticulous, 10 days of maceration with control of the temperatures, 14 months of aging in egg-shaped vats, on lees.
