Vinification
This is the last parcel to be harvested, as it faces north-east: we are looking for the most complete maturity possible for this old emblematic vine. At great sacrifice, we bring the concentrate of this vineyard to the neigh bouring cellar. Careful selection of grapes in the vineyard, multiple treat ments during vatting, meticulous monitoring of the vinification process, assessment of the length of maceration: everything about this cuvée calls for caution if we want to obtain a result that lives up to its reputation. All the techniques developed for Clos du Chêne Vert are adapted to Clos de la Dioterie according to the requirements of each vintage. The maturing process is also carried out in the same way.
Region Notes
The Clos de la Dioterie is located right next to the winery, overlooking the Varennes du Grand Clos. This historic vineyard of just over two hectares is astonishing for the age of its vines (70 to 80 years old), but also for its highly calcareous clay soil and its north-east exposure, ideal for perfect ripening.
Cellaring Potential
The real complexity of this vintage form old vines is often only revealed after 5 or 6 years of cellaring, and it rarely reaches its peak before 10 years, sometimes much more.
