The old vines naturally produce lower yields, contributing greater concentration while maintaining the structural precision associated with chalk-rich terroirs. Winemaking: Produced from 100% Pinot Noir, only the cuvée (the first pressing) is retained for vinification. Fermentation takes place entire…
