Vinification :
This cuvée comes from two plots of vines, the harvest is carried out manually in 25 kilo boxes. The grapes are pressed separately. They are then blended to be racked cold for 24 hours. The juice is placed in stainless steel vats, where it will start its fermentation gently while the vat is heated. Fermentation will last about a week. A racking will be carried out, then the wine will be aged on fine lees for 1 year. The wine was bottled in August 2019.
Terroir :
The vineyard of this Côte d'Auxerre is located on the slopes of the hillsides near the Yonne river but also in secondary valleys. They are exposed towards a dominant south, going from south-east to south-west. The lower soil is made up of limestone, clay and marls from the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous periods.
