$65.00
1 btl per customer.
Maï owns this 0.25 ha parcel called Les Soubletons, at roughly 480 m. north-east facing, at the top of Juliénas. The parcel is just next to a green field that she also owns that flowers until the end of summer. It is as Zen as it sounds. She works organically and follows the principles of biodynamics and, most importantly, values a healthy, virtuous agronomy for the life of both plant and soil.
Vinification is 100% whole cluster, roughly 10 days maceration and she presses just prior to finishing sugars. Ambient yeasts only, alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel, no SO2 during vinification. 100% malolactic fermentation. Elevage for 9 months in (chardonnay) barrels from 2014, no new wood. SO2 added after FML, roughly a month before bottling. Neither fined nor filtered.
778 bottles and 19 mags produced for the first vintage (2022). She is not selling the mags. Yields are kept under 35 hl/ha.
