Gamay from vines in conversion to organic farming (since they're a young estate!), planted in 1990 in the commune of Vincelottes in the Yonne department, on a South-facing hill that shows limestone soils. Manual harvest and sorting of the grapes, yields around 30 hl/ha. Vinification: 21 days of maceration of the whole bunches without any punchings of the cap, gentle pressing, 11 months of aging in barrels without racking.
