The vineyards are planted in clay-limestone soil dating back to the Middle Jurassic period. Located in the southern part of the appellation, the vineyard's eastern exposure along with its small limestone pebbles and numerous faults allow for the production of elegant, pure wines. The 40-year-old vines are planted at an altitude of 230 m.

This is a floral wine, ripe and creamy. It has spice and toast from wood aging along with good acidity and impressiver richness. The wine is full-bodied, spicy, full of yellow and pear fruits.

Winemaking
Aged for 19 months in 30% new French oak with no racking or lees stirring to bring out all of this wine's minerality. The new French oak barrels were toasted at low temperatures for a long time to impart a subtle, delicate touch of oak.
