The fertile riverbank location on the Sanel valley floor is in the coolest part of the area. This climate, coupled with the ancient alluvial riverbank soil, creates the perfect home for this Burgundian white varietal.
Vinification: Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness over an extended harvest period. Vineyard blocks were kept separate until the best lots were blended together. The wine was fermented in 100% French oak barrels (30% new) for 18 months.
