Vinification
No sulfites or other additives are used out of
utmost respect for our grapes. After being transferred to tanks, maceration lasts
a good 3 weeks. We intervene very little and perform only a few gentle pumpovers during alcoholic fermentation.
Ageing
Aged for a total of 18 months of
which 12 months takes place in various types of vessels- wooden vats, concrete
eggs and both 500 and 228-litre barrels without the addition of sulfur. The wine
is racked and blended after 12 months, then is aged for another 6 months in
tanks. The wine is bottled without being fined or filtered.
Tasting notes
The nose is intense and redolent of red berries. The palate is generous and silky,
boasting well-integrated tannins. It is supported by freshness that typical of the
Sancerre region and makes our Pinot Noirs stand out.
