in the vineyard : Gentle slopes exposed to the micro-climate of the Atlantic Ocean results in the vineyards being influenced by the cool air-flows and morning mists so typical of a maritime climate. In summer a firm south-easter wind fans the vines ensuring temperate and sunny ripening conditions. Along with dryland farming on soils of decomposed granite with a high clay content, the vines offer intensely flavoured fruit, resulting in wines of elegance, character and structure.

about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked at optimum ripeness.

in the cellar : The grapes are then gently crushed and destemmed. After pressing, the juice is transferred to a selection of 225L and 500L
French oak barrels for fermentation.

The wine matures at 14 ℃ for 11 months in French oak barrels (20% new), remaining on its lees to build richness, texture, and structure. This careful ageing enhances depth while preserving freshness and balance.
