Soil: Our Premiere Côte, mostly on the Courthezon stretch to the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. The vineyard revolves around of a large clay-limestone diluvium mixing large pebbles with stone and gravel matrices on different expo- sures (south, south-west, northeast). The dominant Mistral allows a reasoned approach to the vines whose average age is around 50 years. The grape varieties are mainly composed of grenache with a few scat- tered plots of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Première Côte finds its origins in these vines which represented for the village elders the highest quality of wines available on the market place of the town. This wine is natural and unfiltered which is why a depot may form; it is the guarantee of our craftsman and respectful work.

Varieties : 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre

Vinification : Full destemming depending on the vintage, up to 20% non-destemmed then fermentation without sulfur in very wide and very open concrete tanks to allow infrequent but in-depth work in order to organize the fruit around a small matrix of tannins very fine in the Burgundian sense while preserving its original freshness. Each grape variety is worked separately on important maturities then blended after the malolactic fermentations.

Breeding :Concrete tank in basement with slow evolution, some old Burgundian pieces of 228L to increase the complexity of the profile.
