100% Gamay from two plots located on southeast-facing slopes, with vines ranging from 30 to 70 years old. The soil consists of weathered pink granite, which lends the wine finesse and tension. Maceration takes place in concrete tanks, using whole clusters and at low temperatures, with punch-downs performed at the end of alcoholic fermentation. Aging then continues for six months in barrels to refine the structure and add depth without masking the fruit.
