Tasting Note

Winemaking Winery

• The vines are grown organically.
• Mechanical labour of the soil. They are pruned in simple guyot with long sticks and disbudded every other eye, so the bunches end up beautiful and airy.
• Grapes harvested by hand in crates, sorted on a sorting table and destemmed at 100%, the whole berries are conveyed into vats in small stainless steel wagons so as not to crush the raw material. 
• 15 months ageing: 15% new barrels and 40% in large barrels (22 hectolitres - Rousseau 2013), 60% Burgundy wines (Taransaud, Stockinger, Hermitage)
