Montagne St-Emilion, Les Terres Blanches, Baudon - 2021

Viticulture

This small 2.87 hectare estate was immediately converted to organic farming, using biodynamic practices. The soil is nourished by sowing cereals and legumes and is worked on horseback. He produces 2 cuvées, each bearing the name of its own terroir, with each parcel harvested separately according to soil and subsoil in order to get a precise expression of the limestone and clay. This cuvée is the result of a blend of intra-parcel selections where the white marl and limestone express themselves on the southern slopes.

Oenology

A 100% Merlot wine, harvested by hand and vinified with 50% maceration of the stalks and a gentle, long extraction with punching down at the heart of fermentation. Malolactic fermentation in barrels and ageing for 14 months in 225 and 400 litre barrels with 30% new wood. Production: 5500 bottles.
