Production notes
One hectare is dedicated to whites, with Marsanne and Roussanne. The vines are on clay-sandy Rhone alluvium. Hand-picked in the morning. The fermentations are done cold; this keeps the freshness of the original fruit. Vinification in stainless steel vats for Marsanne and Roussanne. Aging and end of fermentation in demi-muids for the Roussanne for 6 months. Aging in stainless steel vats for Marsanne for 6 months.
