The wine is aged for 15 months; 3/4 in 225-liter barrels, 20% of which are new, 1/4 in 500-liter sandstone amphorae for 12 months, then 3 months in vats.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
"Precise nose of fresh quince, lime blossom, and flint. Straightforward, taut, saline palate, with great mineral purity. A vibrant and sculpted Chenin, where the tuffeau speaks with finesse."
