The vineyard was planted on sandy, white clays in 1999, the slope faces northeast.  The vines are Guyot trained at a density of about 6500 vines per hectare.  Each vine yields under half a kilo of grapes (about 4 tons per hectare).  
The grapes are dried on the vines and late harvested at the end of October.  The bunches de-stemmed and pressed, fermentation is spontaneous and with the skins, it last around 8 days and takes place in temperature controlled steel tanks.  The wine is aged for 6 months in steel before bottling.
