This project was founded by Jean Rijckaert in 1998 after a decade of working in the Mâcon. He was able to get 4 hectares of top-quality vines in Viré (he also owns 5 hectares in the Jura). Today Jean’s understudy Florent Rouve is in charge and has continued right where Jean left off making wines focused on organic farming with ecological diversity in the vineyards and a light hand in the cellar.
From a vineyard located in southern Aloxe, on deep clay soils with vine age averaging about 65 years old. Manual harvested then a long pneumatic press. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are spontaneous and made in neutral 500 liter barrels. Aged for 10 months on the lees. There is an incredible aroma of florals, with orchard fruit. This is a very classic representation of the grape and is incredibly refreshing and easy drinking!
