Situation
A blend of the best parcels from Fuissé's amphitheatre.
Age of the vines
Planted between 20178 and 1947, a little more than 70 years separate the youngest vines from the oldest. The average age is 40 years. You might like to know that one of the oldest plots used in this cuvée (Les Vernays, planted in 1955) is the source of the massal selection made by the domaine.
Soil
Within this one cuvée you can find a snapshot of Fuissé's geologicla complexity. A third of the vines are grown on west-facing granit soil - a mixture of schists, volcanic sedimentary sands and rhyolitic tuff - the remainder, wich face east, are mostly planted on limestone and Jurassic marls, but there are also some deposits of clay.
Vinification
With the 2020 vintage, we return to a more traditional winemaking and ageing for this cuvée!
A vinification of the grapes coming from the granitic soil in vats and casks for the plots from marls and limestone (as well as for our 1ers Crus "Vers Cras" and "Les Vignes Blanches").
Vinification, then ageing in barrels (or vats) for 10 months, then another 7 months of vats to perfect its cladding. The bottling took place a day flower and... palindrome, on 22-02-2022!
