Auvergne is a region on the rise for fine Pinot Noir in Central France. Cultivated since the days of the Romans in this volcanic region, the vineyards cover the steep hills up to a height of 450 meters. This unusual situation, combined with mostly basalt, clay and limestone soils, produces wines with freshness and red fruit character.

We carefully select our grapes which are picked at perfect ripeness. After picking, the Pinot noir undergoes a cold premaceration (or cold soak), and a 15 days fermentation with everyday pigeage to keep the wine fresh. Aged in stainless-steel tanks.
