A 100% Pinot Noir cuvée, from 30-year-old vines grown in several parcels. Fruit of organic and biodynamic viticulture. Yield: 35 hl/ha. Vinification: as a rosé de saignée, its colour comes from a light maceration of the skins with the juice, followed by fermentation and maturation in vats. Only a light dose of sulphites is added at bottling.

Paul Fouassier
Paul Fouassier, who earned his viticulture and oenology degree in 1998, worked in several leading Bordeaux châteaux (Pavie and Angelus among others) before returning to his large family estate in 2001.
