Riesling is grown here at altitude, with cool nights and slow ripening that help preserve natural acidity. The ancient, poor and well-drained granite soils limit the vigour of the vines and contribute to the wine’s precise character. The relative distance from maritime influence, offset by the altitude of the vineyard, creates wide temperature swings between day and night, particularly well suited to the aromatic expression and tension of the grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand and whole-bunch pressed.

Mild days and cool nights nevertheless encourage gradual ripening of the Pinot Noir.
