Élevage7 to 8 months in fine oak from Allier and Nevers. 5% in new barrels. The wines are matured and stirred on lees once a week during the entire period to preserve their mineral characteristics all the while enriching their structure on the palate.
Vineyard SoilFine sand composed of detrital granite
CellaringCan be consumed in its youth, however will also age very well and harmoniously for 5 to 6 years.
