The vines grow on sunny slopes on moraines left by the former Grésivaudan glacier, among scree and stacked dry-stone walls; a merchant’s description also mentions marl and coarse limestone blocks. The grapes are harvested by hand and slowly pressed as whole, uncrushed bunches. After 48 hours of cold clarification, the must ferments slowly at around 16 °C over three to 16 weeks. The wine is matured until spring on its full lees in stainless steel and barrique. The nose and palate show quince, pineapple, sweet almond, buttered pear and citrus, with a fresh, exotic finish.
