The grapes come from grey marl soils and are hand-harvested. After gentle whole-bunch pressing, alcoholic fermentation begins in tank; the second phase takes place in 228-litre barrels or demi-muids without new oak, using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for at least 18 months on the fine lees, with the barrels topped up regularly; this keeps the wine non-oxidative. It shows taut acidity, saline minerality and a precise, rather slender to medium-bodied palate with citrus, stone-fruit and lightly nutty notes. Sources: Domaine de la Tournelle, Biovino.
