The blend comes from two Chardonnay vineyard sites on very clay-rich grey Liassic marl. The grapes are hand-harvested, rigorously selected and pneumatically pressed as whole bunches. Alcoholic fermentation begins in tank with indigenous yeasts and is completed in a 228-litre tonneau; malolactic fermentation follows there in spring. The wine ages for at least 24 months on fine lees under wood, without new oak and with regular topping up. The glass reveals a dry, dense white wine with white and yellow fruit, flowers, citrus, mineral tension, fresh acidity and a broad palate.
