Caslot Family

Terroir

Located mid-slope, the vines, with an average age of 25 years, face southwest. They grow in sandy-silty, micaceous, and highly glauconitic chalk soils.

Harvest

The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Sorting is performed on whole bunches and individual berries.

Winemaking

Gravity-fed vatting, no crushing. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Gentle 30-day maceration in stainless steel and concrete tanks, followed by 8 months of aging in 400 and 500-liter barrels.
