Light straw colour is present. Asian pear, white flowers, unripe apple, pastry cream and grapefruit appear with a silky texture and bright acidity. The blend is equal parts Voskèat and Garandmak. Ungrafted vines between thirty and forty years old grow at about 1,400 metres on sandy limestone soils with stones. Fermentation uses natural yeasts in concrete, and maturation continues for eleven months in concrete and six months in bottle.
