Terroir
Plots : this white Mercurey is coming from 7 different plots accross the village. Climat & Sol : the diversity and tipicity of each plot reflect their richness in this white Mercurey. The soil is mainly composed of clay and limestone with a limestone predominance.
Winemaking and Aging
To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested and sorted out by hand then delicately pressed. Following the pneumatic press, the juice is settled for 12 to 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation begins in vats, followed by 2/3 of the volume in barrels. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out using natural yeasts of the cellar. Ageing: 10% of the volume is aged in oak barrels for 10 months, then blended in vats for 5 months.
