The 35 year old vines are deeply rooted in Jurassic clay limestone. The grapes undergo carbonic maceration in flex tank for three weeks with occasional pump overs of released juice. The pressed juice takes an additional two weeks to finish fermenting. The wine then spends eight months in 54L glass dame Jeanne and WineGlobe on full lees
