The soils are sandy loam with bands of sandstone. The grapes are harvested and dstemmed, then pressed to ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. After fermentation, the wine rested on its les for ten months without bâtonnage in the same vessels. Bottled without fining or filtering and with only a small addition of SO2.
