The 20yr old vine grows on Kimmeridgian soil. This unique soil in Chablis dates back to the late Jurassic period, approximately 150 million years ago. It is characterized by a distinctive blend of limestone, clay, and fossilized marine organisms, particularly small oyster shells called Exogyra virgula. The high limestone content contributes to the vibrant acidity, minerality and the characteristic flinty, steely notes that define Chablis wines. The clay adds depth and complexity, allowing the wines to age gracefully. Sustainably winegrowing, Olivier fertilizes only with his own compost. The team is working the soil and the vineyard respectfully to the environment.
The plots are situated in Tonnerre, surrounding Chablis and facing West/South-West. Cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed my malolactic fermentation. Fining with Bentonite and filtered before bottling.
