Biodynamic. From a 0.33-hectare parcel planted in the 1960s. The vineyard is named ‚�núCase Neuve‚�nù and Batardiere owns one of the vineyard‚�nôs two parcels. Yields are only 25 hl/ha. The parcel sits on a riverbed between the Britannic and Parisian continental plates, which results in a wide array of soils: clay, blue schist, quartz, and degraded and eroded schist. Semi-carbonic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel with spontaneous fermentation and no additions. The wine is aged in stainless steel and bottled in September after harvest, with no fining and minimal SO‚�a�a (<10mg).
