About the Terroir and Wine Making
Soil Average age of the vines: 30 years
Yield: 45hl/ha
Surface of the vineyard: 1ha
The parcel is located on the hillside surrounding the Berrie fortress, on a terroir dominated by Turonian limestone. The Chenin blanc or Pineau de la Loire, the single grape variety of this cuvée, expresses itself particularly well here and the vines naturally produce small bunches, full of richness and a lovely golden colour. A cuvée full of power, elegance and smoothness.

Vinification Hand-picking at the end of October, when the harvest reached the beginning of over-ripeness. Transport in crates and delicate pressing of the whole bunches. Slight settling of the must. Entonnage en barriques bourguignonnes (4 and 5 wines), followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, bringing ripe fruit notes, fat and complexity.
