Chardonnay from vines over 20 years old, farmed biodynamically and planted on silty-clay soils, maintained by plowing and grass cover, in the commune of La Salle, 15 km North of Mâcon. Hand-harvested. Slow pressing of the whole clusters in a pneumatic press. Fermentation and aging on fine lees in barrels that have seen several wines, this cuvée is a blend of the 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 harvests, with aging ranging from 12 to 48 months before blending and a final stay in tanks. No fining, no filtration, and no added sulfites.
