Unusually for the Loire, the clay and schist rich soils here are cut into an amphitheatre of terraces. The grapes are harvested passerill style (with little or no botrytis) and are naturally fermented and aged in neutral demi muid (400L). The fermentation was stopped leaving around 72g L residual sugar perfectly
