The vineyard

This Reuilly wine comes from a vineyard covering 6 to 8 hectares, planted on soils composed of Kimmeridgian limestone, clay, gravelly sand and marl. The vines, averaging 15 years of age, benefit from a cool climate and farming practices certified High Environmental Value, promoting biodiversity and controlled yields to ensure optimal grape quality.

The vintage

The year was marked by warm and dry growing conditions, ensuring a very low risk of disease and healthy fruit development. While the young vines may have experienced some mild water stress, the cool nights typical of the region helped preserve a lovely acidity. These favourable weather conditions led to an early and swift harvest.

Winemaking and ageing

The making of this Reuilly 2025 begins with a cold maceration and a gentle pressing. Fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, with no time in oak barrels, in order to preserve all the freshness and aromatic vibrancy of the fruit.
