949 Fleurie Appellation

Terroir

Grown on pink granite soil, the 949 vintage blossoms on gently sloping hillsides near the village of Fleurie.
While our vines on the Montgenas hill define the structure of the vintage and those on the Brirette its fruitiness and elegance, those located below the park bring freshness.
The diversity of its exposures makes it an ideal vintage.

Viticulture

The low density of planting, about 6,000 vines per hectare, allows a large leaf surface, thus avoiding competition between the roots. The use of light equipment avoids soil compaction and encourages precise soil preparation.

Vinification

Vinification takes place in 50hl concrete and stainless-steel vats. The grapes are cold macerated, whole, or partially destemmed. No sulfur is added during vinification. The fermentation, which lasts 8 to 12 days, allows a delicate extraction of the aromas, letting the terroir shine through.
Pigeage is gentle and traditionally done by foot.
