Vinification

Grapes are pressed at low pressure, cold stabilized, and in contact with the lees for 8 days. The juices are then fermented at low temperature for 10 months, with weekly stirrings.

Tasting Notes

Crisp, with a mineral texture and a young structure, this wine is full of potential. It comes from the legendary, steep Monts Damnés slope, the exposure giving the wine richness and concentration. The wine has a good future. Drink from 2022. – RV
