Tasting Notes
Maturation
A malolactic fermentation was followed by a long maturation on fine lees. Maturation is achieved in both stainless steel and in demi muit of 600L. After 12 months these are assembled and will continue their maturation process together for 6 more months. A slight collage and filtration where necessary to obtain a iwne that is clear and remains stable over time. This wine has not been treated with cold in order to preserve all aromatic finesse.
Vinification
After a long pressing and static settling of 12-24 hours, fermentation occurred at 20 degrees celsius using natural yeasts.
Vintage Notes
Vintage starts with a mild winter. Followed by a little spring frost luckily without too much damage. A humid and moody forecast is installed by April. This will last during May and June and need constant supervision. The grapes are closing in July and give room for a dry summer. Despite the drought the quantity is present at harvest that started on September 11th lasting about 10 days.
Region Notes
The town of La Chapelle Vaupelteigne owns a very rich diversity of terroir. Parcels are located on a plateau with superficial soil on portlandien limestone, receiving important sunlight. The hillsides facing east lie on marly limestone from Kimmeridgien offering a very nice minerality. The lower and more clay hillsides product wines that have more freshness. The complexity and diversity of these terroirs therefore gather richenss and minerality.
