Vineyard management
Soil cultivation, partial weeding, sustainable viticulture, de-leafing, manual harvesting.
Vinification
Rigorous sorting at the winery. Whole clusters pressed in a stainless-steel pneumatic press. Enzyme treatment, must cooling, sulphiting, and settling. Fermentation is carried out directly in oak barrels with daily bâtonnage throughout the alcoholic fermentation—longer if the vintage requires.
Ageing
10 months in oak barrels, one-third of which are new. Blended in stainless-steel vat for 1 month, followed by fining and filtration.
Bottling
At the estate, in “Cétie Évolution” bottles with DIAM 10 technical closures.
Tasting notes
Beautiful golden yellow robe with occasional green reflections. Expressive nose where freshness meets power, showing notes of honey, lemongrass, menthol, and subtle vegetal nuances. The palate opens with volume and richness. With age, notes of almond and hazelnut emerge.
Food & wine pairings
Fine fish, shellfish, foie gras, poultry and white meats in cream sauces. Also pairs well with strongly flavoured cheeses (blue cheeses, Époisses).
