Winemaking
After manual harvesting, the grapes are pressed immediately with care. Fermentation starts naturally (without the addition of yeast) in 300-litre and 400-litre barrels to preserve the fruit and the approachability of the Chardonnay. The entire cuvée is aged in barrels of which 10% are new.
Tasting
Les Cloux is a premier cru that shows a lot of expression even when young. It also has the distinction of excellent consistency from one vintage to another. It presents a supple and generous texture . The aroma develops notes of white fruits: peach, pear. It is usually ready for tasting 3 to 5 years after harvest.
