After a gentle pressing in pneumatic press, the wine is fermented with natural yeasts and aged in Foudre (2000L) during 8 months. The wine is then filtered lightly, stabilized with a touch of SO2 and bottled.

TASTING NOTES

This is one of the big names of the Mâconnais, a serious Burgundy with natural structure and great freshness thanks to high acidity. Fresh almonds and zesty aromas of lemon and grapefruits on the palate. This is a wine that will gain complexity as it ages.
