about the harvest: Harvested between 26th February and 14th March 2008.
in the cellar : After gentle pressing followed by cold-settling for 2 days, the juice was barrel- fermented in 228l second-fill Burgundy-shaped barrels, and matured "sur-lie" in the barrel for 8 months with occasional "batonage" to add richness to the palate. To accentuate the fresh citrus flavour, 52 % tank-fermented Chenin Blanc was blended with the barrel portion. The wine was bottled on 21th November 2008.
