From a single plot located in the village of Molosmes. A good farmer, Francois’s practices in the vineyard are sustainable. They make their own compost and use a hand off approach. Hand harvest. Gentle pressing into stainless steel tanks. No additions, with the fermentation occurring naturally. Lees aging for 8 months prior to bottling. Bottled unfiltered with minimal fining without animal products The slight cloudiness to the wine is intentional, with such little intervention the true character of the Aligote is preserved.
