Leroux notes the cooler, hillside fruit from Les Vaumuriens brings freshness and balance to the blend. […]

A wild ferment was in small open vats and the juice had about three to four days rest before some gentle foot-stomping and a daily plunge. Everything was pressed after 14 days into tank, and then gravity-fed […]
