Technique

Viticulture

The Benjamin cuvée is produced from a selection of the estate’s finest barrels, sourced from plots in Gervans and Crozes-Hermitage, in the north of the appellation. The vines, aged between 35 and 70 years, grow on south-west-facing slopes of weathered granite. The estate produces this cuvée only when the vintage permits. Each time, it honours a member of Laurent Habrard’s team or circle of friends. In 2022, ‘Benjamin’ is the first name of his partner.

Oenology

The winemaking process uses a minimum of oenological additives, with no enzymes or fining agents. The wine is aged in barrels, then receives a very small dose of sulphur at bottling to protect it during transport.
