- Winemaker: Claude Papin
- Farming: Organic
- Variety: Chenin Blanc
- Terroir: Grapes come from the cru of Savennières, grown on sandy soils.
- Vinification: These grapes are harvested while still green. These young grapes have an alcohol potential of 12.5 to 13.5 %. Slow pressing in a coquard press enhances finesse and the clarity of the must pre-fermentation. The must is then filtered to preserve the Savennières character of the wine. After a slow fermentation on native yeasts, fermentation is stopped by chilling when residual sugar has reached 25g per litre.
- Aging: The wine is then aged slightly on fine lees before being filtered and bottled for secondary fermentation. Once the 25g of natural sugar have been transformed, the pressure in the bottle reaches 6 bars.
