This wine is bright and juicy, with the fresh acidity of green apple and citrus fruits, delicate white flowers, and a beautiful roundness with a bright lasting finish.

Direct press and cold racking of the gross lees for 18 to 24 hours. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats. After malolactic fermentation, a racking is performed and 1 gram of S02 is added per hectoliter. Aging occurs in stainless and fiberglass on the lees with a light earth filtration and 1 to 1.5 grams of S02 per hectoliter added at bottling.

Organically farmed, the grapes here come from the estate's youngest vines and are a mix of the three terroirs Hervé cultivates: sand and flint, clay and silex and deep silt. Vines are 10-25-years-old.
