This cuvée comes from vines more than one hundred years old in the Côte du Py and Le Douby vineyard sites, on granitic, sandy weathered rock. The plots are selected, the grapes hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts without added processing aids. Traditional carbonic or semi-carbonic skin maceration lasts around ten to 21 days. The wine is then matured for around one year in used 228-litre oak casks. It shows red fruit, lively acidity, fine tannins, medium body and good ageing potential; it is produced only in vintages considered exceptional.
