Our vineyard spans over 4.4 acres (1.75 hectares). This terroir with light, sandy clay and acid soil, has low levels of organic matters and presents the typical pink colour of the Cru. Its granite is highly altered and medium deep.

Grape variety : 100% Gamay / Planting density : 4 000 vines per acre / 10 000 vines per hectare / Average age of vines : 50 years / Harvest : Grapes are harvested manually in 15 kg crates before passing on a double sorting table and are 100% destemmed.

The fermentation takes place in a single concrete vat, in order to isolate the parcel and to express the unique characteristics of its terroir. The entire system is thermo-regulated .

The wine is aged for 12 months mostly in oak barrels and in 600-litre barrels, called “demi-muid”, and then in a concrete vat for 2 more months. Slight filtration and no fining. – Domaine Labruyère
