In addition to practicing organic viticulture since 1954, both Emmanuel and Patrice have also perfected the craft of producing wines from single vineyards. Even though they are not classified as 1er Cru, they are treated as such, advancing the idea of authentic, terroir-driven wines. The best single vineyards are bottled separately, and if the vintage is not exceptional, the single vineyards are blended into the entry-level wines. All fermentation is with native yeast, and the use of sulfites is kept to a minimum.
The wine is aged for eleven months in oak barrels, including a small proportion of new wood. The light structure thus obtained allows this wine to reach its optimal level of tasting after aging for two to five years. A light and elegant pinot noir from the Maconais. Certified Organic.
