The plots are located on the high plateau of Benais, bordering the forest and facing south, on soils composed of clay-limestone, rich in micaceous chalk particles. The plot is under natural grass cover only, with no mowing.

Harvest

Hand-harvested into crates. The grapes are destemmed and sorted a second time at the winery before being moved into vats.

Winemaking

Indigenous yeasts only and vinification with no additives. Slow and measured infusion for 3 to 4 weeks.
In a 10hL earthenware jar and 500L barrels, the aging takes place for 24 months in the Caves du Vau Renou.
