From the parcels of Les Burdelines and Les Greneriers, located in Romanèche-Thorins, which are the best and oldest on the estate. This was originally known as the Clos du Tremblay. Trained according to the traditional low gobelet technique. Managed without the use of weedkillers, its top soil is tilled three or four times.
Soils
Very eroded granite, foothills, and old alluvial deposits
Harvest & Vinification
The grapes are handpicked and transported in small 35 kg crates. All of the grapes were sorted on the sorting tables. After two weeks of fermentation, the grapes are 80% de-stemmed, followed by pressing. Aged in vats over a period of 11 months on fine lees, including the use of micro-oxygenation. The two plots are vinified and matured separately. They are only blended together to create the wine after being tasted and just before bottling. Vinified without SO2 then bottled with nitrogen gas with two grams of SO2 in tank before bottling.
