The grapes are gently pressed using a pneumatic press to preserve the aromatic purity of the grape variety.
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place without the addition of sulphur, in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit and the identity of the terroir as much as possible.
Maturation in tanks preserves the freshness and purity on the palate, while allowing the aromatic complexity to express itself. This technical choice results in a straightforward, precise wine that remains faithful to its Savoyard origins.
