Terroir
The sandy-limestone terroir is porous and well-drained, resulting in a moderate water supply and rich microbial life propitious to interactions. These conditions enhance the growth of the leaf canopy, which is key to producing aromatic, fruity white wines.
In the vineyard
Sustainable pruning, bud pruning, leaf thinning, green harvesting, and picking the grapes at peak ripeness early in the morning to preserve their intrinsic fruitiness and ensure that the wines achieve their full aromatic potential.

Reviews
"Nez poudré avec des notes de massepain et de sciure de bois, qui évoluent vers le fruité épicé du mangue et du physalis. Élégant en bouche, mais sans manquer d’intensité aromatique. Corps moyen avec une acidité fraîche. À boire dès maintenant.
