Technical data
From vineyard to glass
I.
The vineyard
The vineyard is located in the village of Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, on the Portlandian — limestone — with a northwest exposure. This rare 0.40-hectare plot carries 80-year-old vines, for a yield of 50hL/ha. We practice a reasoned approach to viticulture having obtained the HVE level 3 label, which translates into ploughing which activates the organic and microbial life of the soil, partial grassing on certain plots and the use of natural fertilizers and treatments against diseases.
II.
Winemaking
After a long and delicate pressing and a cold settling of about twenty hours, fermentation takes place around 16 to 18°C using indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is carried out on fine lees from November to mid-April, followed by light fining and earth filtration for a clear, stable wine before bottling at the estate. Aging takes place exclusively in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, preserving freshness and fruitiness while allowing low-temperature fermentation that best develops the wine’s aromas.

Tasting notes
The Sacy grape variety reveals aromas of white flowers and green apple. It is a very light and fresh wine, with well-balanced acidity, ideal as an aperitif or with cold cuts and cheese.
