Stony scree and clay-limestone soils of the Jurassic period.

Vinification

Traditional vinification : Direct pressing at reception of the grapes in pneumatic press, settling, cold stabulation during 48h. Fermentation in vats, at a low temperature of 16/20° to preserve the aromas. Aging on lees in vats for 8 to 10 months with regular stirring.

Recommendations

Goes well with noble shellfish (gambas, lobsters, lobsters,...) but also with cooked foie gras and white meats in cream sauce (veal, poultry). Sushi is a perfect match with its minerality. Ideal with goat cheese.
