– Soil : Kimmeridgean marl (white clay and fossilised shells and oysters).
– Exposition : South-south east.
– Production : Between 30 and 34 000 bottles depending on years.
– Work in the vines :
? Since 1980 : abandonment of chemical fertiliser on all of our vines.
? Since 2002 : abandonment of herbicide on all 21 Hectares of vines.
? Since 2006 : abandonment of insecticide on all 21 Hectares of vines.
? Mildew control : we use the bare minimum of fungicide, but not only copper, which we
think the accumulation in the soils would be harmful for them in the long term.
? Rainwater collection to fight mildew with demineralised water and thus reduce as much
as possible the dose used.
The vines are lightly hoed and regularly tilled by hand. Only organic amendments
officially agreed for Organic Farming are used at the end of autumn. Treatments are
reduced to bare necessities in order to protect fauna and soils, which are crucial for an
appropriate development of the vegetation.
– Vinification : fermentation in stainless steel tanks after cold settling, long conservation on
very fine lees, cold tartaric precipitation, no malolactic fermentation, sulphite rate in
accordance with biodynamic principles : ? 100mg/l., suitable for vegans.
– Keeping : 4 to 6 years, apogee from the 2nd or 3rd year.
– Wine-master?s advice : Served chilled at 12?C. It is ideal alone as an aperitif. It is the perfect
match with starters, fish, poultry , white meat and cheese (goat and sheep?s cheese, Comt?).
