This wine is made from rare Verdanel vines, a grape variety preserved by INRA (the French National Institute for Agricultural Research). Its production relies on clay-limestone soil, with goblet-pruned vines and yields limited to 30 hl/ha. Winemaking prioritizes natural methods: direct pressing, nighttime settling, and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Twelve months of aging in tanks before bottling gives it its unique character and authenticity.
