This wine is made from grapes from 50-year-old vines grown in stony limestone and clay soil. The vineyard enjoys a southern exposure ideal for the maturation of the berries. The wine was vinified in French oak barrels for a year. The oak is carefully chosen from two distinctives forests, from Allier to bring an aromatic touch and from Nevers to develop the structure.
