The vines for this cuvée are meticulously pruned using the single Guyot and Cordon de Royat systems, with a density of 7,500 to 8,500 vines per hectare. Cultivated according to organic and biodynamic practices, they thrive in predominantly limestone soil with 10% flinty clay. The grapes are destemmed and gently transported to the press. The natural winemaking process follows the lunar cycle, incorporating a cold pre-fermentation maceration and twelve months of aging in oak barrels.

Pierre J. Fouassier
In Sancerre, Pierre-Jacques Fouassier pursues a demanding, plot-by-plot approach, where each terroir imparts its own nuance. The Sauvignons display a calm tension, the Pinot Noirs a straightforward texture. The aging process doesn't seek effect, only precision. In short: great poise. The estate remains a reliable benchmark.
