Average annual production: 1,800 bottles

Working the vine: We place great importance on respecting nature and the environment, and use environmentally friendly pest control. All of the estate’s plots are ploughed. To improve the yield, once pruned our vines are de-budded and thinned early, by hand. We may choose a green harvest.
Harvest method: Harvested by hand and grapes are placed in small perforated boxes.
Winemaking process: Fermentation begins en masse and is finished in barrels. Lees stirred according to quality of vintage.
Maturation: Matured in oak barrels for 12-14 months.
Bottling: We bottle our wines ourselves on the estate, with no fining or filtration, and according to the lunar calendar, producing wonderfully clear wines with the best possible flavours.

Taste: This white Burgundy is lively and fresh, with a fine mineral finish.
