Producer’s notes
Chapoutier describes a plot of about four hectares, on sediments over a granite subsoil, with vines of 90 to 100 years that give low yields. The grapes are picked by hand at the limit of over ripeness, fully destemmed and fermented in concrete tanks, with a maceration of four to five weeks.
