Production notes
Each grape is sorted when gathering the harvest; we work by gravity to respect the natural flow of the juice within vinification process.

Each terroir is vinified separately in thermo-regulated stainless steel tank. Limestone brings minerality and finesse. Limestone-clay enhances fruit and richness. Flint provides structure and minerality.
