Product notes
The style of our Signature Range is the result of a meticulous work based on gravity, from collecting grapes at harvest to vinification to bottling. The combination of the various terroirs: limestone, clay and flint. 100 % indigenous yeasts and slow fermentations confer unique finesse and minerality with an extremely well-integrated acidity.
Production notes
Each grape is sorted during the harvest; we work by gravity to respect the natural flow of the juice within vinification process. A light pressing is done to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Terroirs are blended : 50% limestone, 30% limestone clay and 20% flintstone.
Tasting notes
Wine of a brilliant greenish yellow. Beautiful notes of green apples. In the mouth, an acidity sustained by notes of flintstones. A great wine perfectly balanced.
