From a  fairly steep plot close to the winery on young shell-limestone. The tope and the bottom of the vineyard are deeper, the middle section is dry and rocky. 30 years old vines, farmed organically for almost 20 years.

The 4th vintage of their signature wine, harvested at the end of September. Fermentation lasted only one week. A part of the stems dried in the sun were added back in a few days before pressing. The total skin-contact time was about two weeks.

After pressing the wine went into the same old barriques that were used previously with part of it going to a tank.
