Description
The vines
- The plots were created after clearing a small hill overlooking the cellar and the rest of the vineyard.
- These are small plots of about half a hectare. The choice was made of high densities, as in the largest French vineyards of Champagne, Bordeaux or Burgundy.
Winemaking and aging
- The start of the harvest is decided when the tasting of the berries reveals complete maturity.
- The grapes are vinified in new 225L barrels and 550L jars.
- These are generally the last VALMY harvests, at the beginning of October.
- The harvest, transported in approximately 15kg crates, is sorted manually on arrival at the cellar, then destemmed and lightly crushed.
- They are monitored daily through tastings provided by the cellar master. Aged for around 9 months in new French oak barrels. The final blend is decided after a tasting where only the best barrels are selected. After bottling, the wine is aged for 3 years in the bottle before being marketed.
