Artisanal savoir-faire:

A selection of the musts that give this cuvée its unique identity.
Vinification in our cellars: selection of the grape juices.
Resting of the wine after alcoholic fermentation: this does not rush the wine too much, allowing the yeasts to settle slowly and the aromatic expression to develop harmoniously
Bâtonnage (stirring) of the lees for 3 months: ensuring the purity of the Chenin and the complexity of the aromas.
Traditional method aged ‘sur lattes’ in our underground cellars at a constant temperature of 12°C.
Slow, gentle riddling tailored to the cuvée, carried out by hand.
Minimum of 2 weeks of rest “sur pointe’ (neck down) before disgorgement resulting in a crystal-clear wine.
Low dosage, between 8-10g, to preserve the tension of the Chenin on the finish.
