Schist and ardoise (a type of hard, black schist native to the region), mixed with clay. Only indigenous yeasts are used and no SO2 during vinification, only 1 gram at bottling. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out systematically. The Chardonnay is vinified in old barrels, the rest in fiberglass tanks. Whole cluster. The wine is then aged for nine months in tank and bottled after light filtration.
