This magnificent juice spent 5 years in an old 600 L foudre. So delicious, sweet palate with complex fresh and dried quince notes, floral notes, earthy wood honey, and more.

The grapes were picked ripe with some Botrytis. Not fortified.

With a deep respect for nature, they have a homeopathic touch, collecting plants and herbs around the estate to make plant based tea infusions that make the vines healthier and stronger. They let the cycles of the moon decide when to bottle and press, and how long the wines should macerate. Sylvie and Thierry work with only indigenous yeasts and the least amount of intervention possible.
