Two plots around St. Pierre d’Albigny. 20 year old vines in one, 45 year old vines in the
other.
Fruit is destemmed. Long maceration of roughly 3 weeks. Fermentation is via native
yeast in concrete. In general the ferments are reductive and gentle – no punchdowns but very light pump overs. Fruit is pressed in an antique Coquillard press purchased from Champagne and then goes into neutral barrel for malo and aging. No racking. Very low SO2 at bottling – the goal is 10 to 15 PPM total. Aged 11 months in neutral, 225 Liter barrels.
