The 0.20-hectare vineyard site lies on a south-facing slope. The white tuffeau of the Turonian comes close to the surface here, while the clay soil layer is very thin. The vines, around 40 years old, were hand-harvested, completely destemmed and fermented with natural yeasts without sulphur. The wine aged for twelve months in Burgundian pièces, followed by 24 months of bottle ageing in the cellar. In the glass, it shows fresh acidity with redcurrant, balsamic notes and present, already softened tannins. It was bottled unfiltered and without added SO2.
