Winemaker Notes:

"2022 was the first year, David & Michele made a single lieu-dit from their high altitude parcel “Poullet.” Their other parcel “Saint-Roch” which has made up a third of the blend since 2018 will be resting several years before replantation. “Poullet” is about 1 hectare in size, east-facing and planted to high density, gobelet trained vines, which are on average between 40-60 years old. The bedrock is granite and the soil is a blend of pink granite, sandstone and weathered rock fragments. The whole cluster bunches go through a semi-carbonic maceration with their indigenous yeasts. The grapes fermented as whole berries for 3 weeks before being pressed. The wine was aged for 8 months in cuve and bottled unfiltered." 

Alcohol: 11.5%
