Vineyard management

Soil cultivation, grass cover in the treatment rows, sustainable viticulture, de-leafing, manual harvesting, grape sorting carried out in the vineyard before picking.

Vinification

Rigorous sorting at the winery. Whole clusters are pressed in a stainless-steel pneumatic press. Enzyme addition, must cooling, sulphiting, settling. Fermentation takes place 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. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is blended in stainless-steel vat for one month, then fined and filtered to enhance clarity and aromatic precision.

Bottling

At the estate, in “Cétie Évolution” bottles with DIAM 10 technical closures.

Tasting notes

Pale gold to straw yellow colour. Floral nose with citrus notes and occasional mineral accents. The palate opens with a clean, assertive attack, followed by lasting roundness and creamy, brioche or even spicy notes.

Ideal with freshwater fish in white sauce, foie gras, creamy poultry dishes, and cheeses such as goat cheese, Comté, or Cîteaux.
