Product notes

This very steep plot of the Côte des Monts Damnés is located in the heart of a prestigious south-facing hillside in the village of Chavignol. The vines of a respectable age are deeply rooted in a terroir composed essentially of Kimmeridgian marl (a mixture of shells and clay).

Production notes

Harvested by hand. Pneumatic press. Cold static settling. Fermentation in stainless steel vats with temperature control at 18 - 20°C. No malolactic fermentation. Aging on lees until bottling in May.
