Soils in Le Jeau vineyard are made up of clay and schist over schist bedrock.
Vinification takes place using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tank after 3 day skin maceration. The wine is aged in both neutral oak casks and stainless steel tank. Malo-lactic fermentation is encouraged due to extremely low sulfur levels. Bottled unfined & unfiltered.
Aromatics of stone fruit, citrus and ground minerals in the nose lead into a wine with surprising tension, viscosity and depth. Bright acid levels prevail over a broad spectrum of flavors. This is very poised and complex wine showcasing multi-layered expressions of both exotic, nutty and crushed minerals. |
