100% Chenin from young and old vines, from 10 to 50 years old, farmed biodynamically and planted on a selection of clay-limestone parcels. The grapes were harvested by hand with successive sorting. Vinification: direct pressing in a pneumatic press, fermentation in 620-litre demi-muids barrels, then bottled in March 2020. Aged in bottles, on laths, in the domaine’s cellars for 30 months.
