Origine
Named place comes from « Val aux Osiers ». Soils and sub-soils are full of clay with some gravel landslips. Middle of the hillslopes, south to south east exposure. This parcel is located right under Grands Crus. The soil is fresh and keeps well humidity.
Vinification
Grapes are hand-picked and then conveyed to the winery in crates. Part of the harvest is stripped and poured into a vat, where it ferments for an 8- to 10-day period. The technique employed enables producing elegant and delicate wines. After pressing, fermentation is completed in vats before transport to the cellars for barrelling, where vinification will last 12-18 months. Two or three racking steps will be carried out in order to separate out the deposits forming at the barrel bottom during the various vinification phases. Prior to bottling, a last racking allows assembling the wine in preparation of the clarification step. Just one slight filtration is performed before bottling.
