The vines grow at around 220 metres above sea level on west- to north-west-facing slopes, on calcareous clay soils with marine sediments. The grapes are hand-picked in September. The wine is made from 70 per cent rosé, 20 per cent white and 10 per cent red wine mash. The rosé and white portions undergo spontaneous fermentation after gentle pressing; the red portion ferments spontaneously on the skins. The wine then matures for six months in stainless steel on the fine lees and for a further month in bottle. It has a bright ruby-red colour, with red berries, flowers and spicy notes. On the palate it is dry, fresh and harmonious, with barely perceptible tannins.
