VinificationGrapes are pressed at low pressure, cold stabilized, and in contact with the lees for 8 days. The juices are then fermented at low temperature for 10 months, with weekly stirrings.
Tasting NotesCrisp, with a mineral texture and a young structure, this wine is full of potential. It comes from the legendary, steep Monts Damnés slope, the exposure giving the wine richness and concentration. The wine has a good future. Drink from 2022. - RV
