Description
The vines were planted 15 years ago on the Ravry and Potey plots, both in the commune of FIXIN.
The lower part of Ravry is composed of clay. The top is more chalky. The soils of the Potey parcel are more generous, consisting of a layer of rich clay that does not suffer from drought. Beneath this layer of clay, which is about thirty centimetres thick, there is a layer of round limestone pebbles that provide natural drainage.
The grapes are harvested by hand and partially de-stemmed, with 30% whole grapes to add freshness. Generous vinification with sustained extraction in stainless steel vats to add body. The wine is then matured for 12 months in 228-litre and 600-litre oak barrels before being racked and blended. The wine is not filtered before bottling. This is the estate's biggest cuvée, with a production of 3,000 bottles.
