Where does it come from

This white comes from the heart of Burgundy, specifically from the heights of the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards are located high on the slopes, in a position that ensures beneficial temperature variation for the aromatic quality of the grapes. The terroir is based on rocky soils rich in clay and limestone veins. This environment favors substantial saltiness and gives the glass a clear and defined mineral persistence.

How it is produced

The winery follows a strict organic approach throughout the production process. After pressing, the must undergoes a cold settling for forty-eight hours, during which it clarifies naturally to protect the fruit.
