A Pinot Noir made from 45-year-old vines on clay-limestone soils, with a layer of pebbles and red clay over a limestone bedrock. A blend of two climats: 20% Chanlins and 80% Arvelets. Fruit of healthy organic farming, with a yield of 30 hl/ha. Vinification: whole grapes bunches, meticulously sorted, fermented without SO2, with cap punch downs twice a day for 4 weeks.
