Semi-carbonic maceration for 2 weeks. Aged for 9 months on lees in century-old oak barrels. Terroir of loess, deep and heavy aeolian limestone silts as well as sandy granite. One imparting silkiness and depth, the other fruity and freshness. A great classic of the Domaine! Crown cap closure, with a lightweight bottle, for a further step towards low-carbon activity!
