The grapes are hand-harvested and 100% destemmed. Vinification takes place in concrete tanks via native yeasts. During fermentation the temperature is allowed to gradually rise to 30-32°C. The vatting period lasts from 4-5 weeks with regular pump over operations carried out during this period. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel. 50% in 228-litre barrels (pièces bourguignonnes), 50% in 600-litre barrels (demi-muids), of which 20 to 25% are new. The wine is racked at the end of winter. Ageing can last 12 to 18 months depending on the vintage and our tastings of the wine.

This wine is made from a blend of our four plots:

• The Côte Brune with its soil of fractured mica-schist, which gives the wine structure and power.
• The Côte Blonde, located on a vein of gneiss, which provides elegance and a floral character.
• Neve, located to the north of the appellation, with a soil composed of stony mica-schist, endowing the wine with tension and minerality.
• Tupin, to the extreme south of the appellation, in an area of migmatite and sandy loam, adding notes of spice and dark fruit.
