Vineyards & Viticulture: From three vineyards, totaling two hectares, in Apremont, old vines below Mont Granier. Vines planted on west facing slopes. Guyot and Cordon Royal training.

Soils: Schist and ardoise (a type of hard, black schist native to the region), mixed with clay

Harvest & Vinification: Only indigenous yeasts are used and no SO2 during vinification. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out systematically. 1/3 vinified in barriques (two to three years old), 2/3 in tanks. The wine is then aged for at least nine months with only one gram of sulfur used at bottling.
