VINEYARD	A vineyard of 25 years of age situated at 1,100 meters above sea level. Its West-East orientation provides a fast natural runoff for rain and defrosting waters. The growing-guidance system is done by high vine trellis.
SOIL COMPOSITION	Alluvial origin, with a poor and sandy loam texture and a remarkable presence of stones and calcium carbonate, which define them as “calcareous” and convey great elegance and complexity to the wines.
HARVEST	Hand-picked in small plastic boxes of 12 kg. Yield: 9,000 kg per hectare.
WINEMAKING	When entering the winery, grapes are subject to a double- selection process through a vibrating conveyor. A cold maceration is carried out at 8 °C during 5 days. Alcoholic fermentation is performed at a controlled temperature with manual piegeage. The wine (80%) is then aged in 2nd use French oak for 8 months. Once bottled, it is stored for a minimum of 3 months for reaching its optimum point.
