Tasting notes
Remarkable purity of the grapes. On the nose, captivating aromas from the winery. A delicious, fresh palate with notes of cherries and subtle peppery notes characteristic of the vineyard plot.
Winemaking: Semi-carbonic vinification. Cold pre-fermentation maceration (grapes placed in vats at 4°C) for 10 days. Fermentation temperature between 13°C and 18°C to produce a light wine that showcases the purity of the fruit. • Vines aged 60 years. Area: 2 ha. Hand harvesting into crates. Vinification by plot. Located on a plateau north-east of Chénas, in the locality known as En Papolet, neighbouring the Moulin-à-Vent plots. The vines enjoy sunshine throughout the day.
