Vineyards & Viticulture
From a mix of vines up to 50 years of age. No chemical materials have been used since 1996. Arnaud employs a traditional pruning system with simple guyot training. The land is ploughed by horses to avoid soil compaction. Trimming and trellising are done b

Soils
Shallow pebbly topsoil over bedrock.

Harvest & Vinification
The grapes are strictly sorted, undergoing triple sorting upon arriving at the estate. Arnaud uses 100% whole cluster with only pedicels and tastes everything every day during vinification. The wine is gently pumped over but hardly punched down to avoid extraction.The wine is aged in oak barrels, all used from Tonnelleire François Frères, for 18 months on fine lees and is racked into stainless vats for the last months of elevage.
