Viticulture
Stony terraced vineyards on alluvions and molasse facing full south. Yields are low at 30 hl/ha.
Vinification
The grapes are 100% hand-picked and carefully selected for ripeness. After crushing and destemming, fermentation relies solely on wild yeasts, lasting 15 days with the cap punched down twice daily for color and tannin extraction. The wine ages 60% in vats and 40% in 2–4-year-old demi-maids.
Food Match
Grilled Cornish game hens, grilled porterhouse steaks with thyme and baked potato skins, peppered rib-eye steak, or peppered honey rack of lamb.
