Cuvee Notes: “Granite” comes from a single 3 hectare plot of vines averaging 50 years old. With exceptionally low yields for the appellation, concentrated fruit is hand harvested (also a rarity in the Pays Nantais), pressed and transferred to fermentation tanks without the use of pumps. Fermentation occurs without the use of commercial yeast, and elevage occurs on the lees in subterranean concrete vats.
