This Pinot Noir comes from vines over 35 years old, planted in the Trouillots terroir, on clayey decalcification soils (Lias). Organically farmed since 2014, it is hand-harvested and carefully vinified: whole bunch maceration in stainless steel tanks for 15 days, followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in stainless steel tanks and barrels. Unfiltered and without added sulfites!
It is necessary to decant the wine a little in advance to allow it to degas if necessary.
