This cuvée is crafted from a blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Savagnin (40%). The Savagnin grapes require several years of aging in oak barrels in our centuries-old cellars to develop their distinctive character. The Chardonnay is aged in old casks before blending.
This cuvée is made from Chardonnay grapes from the lieu-dit "Les Roussots" on a terroir of layered grey marl from the Lias period. The grapes used come from the oldest plots.
A Chardonnay from our "Les Roussots" plots (terroir of Lias marls "gray flaky"), vinified in stainless steel tanks, with its indigenous yeasts, in order to best express the minerality and aromatic persistence that characterizes this terroir.
