To produce good wine you need good grapes is the main motto of brothers Didier and Sylvain. To ensure that the grapes can achieve a nice concentration, the number of buds (where the bunches will come later) is limited when pruning in winter. During the manual harvest, both in the vineyard and when entering the cellar, it is checked which grapes are good enough. Only the best bunches are processed. The healthy grapes are picked by hand. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in 1-5 year old oak barrels with regular 'bâtonnage' (stirring) of the 'groin'. The young wine ripens for another 12 months on its 'groin' (own fine sediment) so that the wood does not dominate the terroir characteristics. Due to the cold temperatures in the old Defaix family cellar in the heart of Milly, the wine clears completely naturally through settling. There is only very light filtering before bottling.

Wine - Food pairing

An elegant and tasteful wine that works great as a chic aperitif, but also has enough complexity and ripe notes to accompany a risotto with white truffles!
