Lots of manual labour from ourselves during the rest of the year, but this turns out to some great grapes. Terroir is a mix of decomposed granite, quartz and clay. Yield it not that high (like the rest of our plots and gives us only around 18Hl\/ha). After taking the grapes from the land it will undergo a semi carbonic in concrete and stainless steel with a bit direct press gamay. After pressing we put it together in one big fiberglass dome where the wine has still room to dance and finish the fermentation. Then aged for more than 10 months before bottling in the same dome.
