This wine is made from our Pinot Noir old vines planted in the communes of Sancerre and Saint-Satur. The vine stocks are deeply rooted in the terroirs in which I myself grew up and produce small sized grapes with highly concentrated aromas.
Age of the vines: ~40 years old
Soil: Flint (Silex)
Vinification: The grapes are from a careful selection of my Pinot Noir old vines. All of my parcels are treated to the utmost care and attention prior to harvesting in order to ensure optimum aromatic maturity. Green harvesting is carried out after ripening so as to limit yields and increase the concentration of aromas in the fruit. At harvest time, we hand-sort the grapes, then vinify them in single bunches for 3 weeks, pumping over and punching down 2 or 3 times a day in order to ensure a delicate extraction of tannins and colour.
