Vineyard management
Soil cultivation, grass cover in treatment rows, sustainable viticulture, de-leafing, manual harvesting. Grape sorting carried out directly in the vineyard (removal of verjus and damaged berries). Certified HVE3 (High Environmental Value, level 3).
Vinification
Rigorous sorting at the winery. Whole berries destemmed and transferred by gravity into tanks. One week of cold pre-fermentation maceration, daily punch-downs, followed by a warm post-fermentation maceration. Total vatting time: 3 weeks. Manual devatting using bins by gravity into a stainless-steel pneumatic press.
Ageing
13 months in oak barrels, one-third of which are new. Malolactic fermentation in barrel, followed by blending in stainless-steel vat for 1 month before bottling.
Bottling
At the estate, in antique-style “Cétie Évolution” bottles with natural cork closures. Available in Magnum and Jeroboam formats.
Tasting notes

Red meats, game, stews (civets), or cheeses such as Époisses and Chaource.
