Overview

Damien’s leases just .25 ha of younger vines in Roche-aux-Moines – a cru of Savennieres renown for its volcanic schist soils, and silky, complex and age-worthy wines. A well-exposed site it can be harvested late without danger of botrytis. Damien ferments this wine in two oak casks where it ages for 14 months. Due to his non-interventionist approach to winemaking, this cuvée may or may not go through malo depending on the vintage.
