Notes from Flatiron Wine Merchants:

"Pink granite, quartz and mica. The pink granite, characteristic of the soils of Fleurié, with veins of milky-white quartz running through it has lead the unique soil here to being described as made up of “lardons ”, due the large rocks of pink granite with layers of white quartz found throughout the vineyard. Parcel with high altitude meaning fruit ripens late.

The average vine age is 80. The farming practices are organic, purchased grapes, manual harvest. Vinification showcases the hand-harvested grapes, after being chilled overnight to 12C, were placed into a concrete vat under cover of CO2 and were left untouched for 21 days without pump overs nor punch downs for what Jules Chauvet called a fermentation aromatique. 

After 21 days the vat was emptied and pressed, with the must finishing fermentation in concrete vats before 10 months with fine lies in a concrete tank."
