Shallow fersialitic soils derived from quaternary alluviums of clays, on shales and siltstones (primary
age) with inclusions of quartz. Due to their southern exposure, the plots are subject to cool winds and this brings out and emphasizes the freshness of the Chardonnay, as well as its acidity and minerality. Grapes are hand-harvested in general by the 10 last days of February. Whole bunch pressing, followed by a cold
sedimentation. Wild yeast fermentation in barrel (20% new oak), followed by complete malolactic
fermentation. The wine is aged for 9 months in French oak barrels with regular stirring of the lees. Supple & fresh, round structure supported by a good balance between acidity and minerality. - Tournon.
