From south/southeast facing vines in terraces overlooking the village of Chavanay. La Petite Cte is not an appelation, but our name for this cuve. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted, then pressed and left to settle. Alcoholic fermentation happens in barriques, no racking, regular stirring. Malolactic fermentation also done in barriques, with native yeasts. Matured for 9 months in barriques, on the lees, no racking, regular stirring. An expressive and seductive wine. The nose evokes a basket of fruits gilded by the sun, apricot, quince, peach and citrus fruits. Some sweet notes of flowers (lilac, rose and violet) and honey make the whole set even more charming. The mouth is gourmand and fresh, a beautiful spicy power and a bitterness thirst quenches the final reflecting us the image of this vintage.
