Vineyard
The vines are located on the regional appellation area of Mâconnais in the commune of Fuissé.
Clay and limestone.
Chardonnay. The pruning is done in Guyot with various green works (disbudding, trellising, topping). The average age of the vines is 40 years.
Vinification
Manual harvest, sorting on vines. In the winery, after a slight crushing, the grapes are pressed using our pneumatic presses.
Following a slight settling, the grape must is put into 228-liter French oak barrels (15% of new barrels) in which alcoholic and malolactic fermentations will take place in yeasts and indigenous bacteria. The aging is done on fine lees for 10 months. Without mashing. A month before bottling, the wine from the different barrels is racked in vats. Bottling is preceded by a slight fining and a light filtration.
