Fermented with yeasts indigenous to the terroir. Aged in French oak barrels, 15% to 30% of which are new, for 14 to 16 months. 
No fining, light filtration if necessary, depending on turbidity. 

Following the recommendations of the lunar calendar.

An emblematic Premier Cru of the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation. The nose expresses delicate notes of white flowers and citrus fruit. The wine is characterised by its balance, with great power and generosity underpinned by delicious minerality and a long finish.
