100% Cabernet Franc. The fruit for the rosé comes from a plateau of clay-flint (argilo-silex) soils lying above the Croix Boissée vineyard. The farming is certified-organic and all vineyard work, including harvest, is by hand. The whole clusters are gently pressed into unlined cement vats. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts and without temperature control. The wine ferments to full dryness; goes through malolactic fermentation; is aged in concrete; and bottled in the spring with a very gentle filtration. Sulfur use is minimal.
