The grapes come from the sole Chenin vineyard site, «Les Chaîneaux», with fine clay soils over the yellow limestone of the Turonian. The 25- to 60-year-old vines were hand-harvested and pressed directly as whole bunches. Fermentation took place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, without sulphur during vinification; the wine was then aged for twelve months in tank. With yields of over 70 hl/ha, the 2023 vintage produced considerably more than usual and was therefore made as an uncomplicated, fresh drinking wine. It is light, straightforward and acid-driven, with clear fruit and excellent drinkability.
