Additional Info
The grapes for this cuvée are sourced from a parcel in Oger, originally planted by José’s grandfather. In the vineyard, intensive de-budding is carried out to favor concentration in grapes. With the constant search for improved soil quality, techniques such as grass growth management and composting with bark between the rows are employed. For the base wine, a traditional Coquard vertical press is used.
