NUITS SAINT GEORGES Les Proces 1er Cru

Terroir :
This land is situated in the middle of Nuits Saint George’s slope. The soil here is made of clay and limestone, which gives to the
wine a certain minerality. The average age of the vines on this vineyard is about 40 years old. Global size : 0 ha63 .

Vineyards culture :
It is hard to attach us to a precise kind of culture such as Biodynamic, Organic or Sustainable. We prefer to say that we are
Reasonable. Being adepts for a long time of a few techniques like the use of the moon calendar,, we prefer to choose what is
convincing us, this by picking in each category. That with the will of favorising life in our soils and the perenniality of our
vineyards. In those last, the soils are plough and in bleached on grass.

Vinification :
At their entry at the winery, the grapes are 100% destemmed. These fruits are then put in tank without any crushing, to keep an
intact berry. A cold soak follows, it goes from 3 days to a week, depending on the appellations and the vintage. Then the
alcoholic fermentation takes place with a classic scheme of vinification, not very interventionnist, the pump overs and punch
downs are done case per case in function of the densities and the taste of every wine. The wines are then barrel down by gravity
in french oak barrels in order to mature and do their malo-lactic fermentation.

Ageing :
60% one year old barrel – 40% new oak – Bottled at the beginning of march.
