SOIL: Clay-limestone soil.

VINIFICATION: All fermentation is done naturally using indigenous yeasts. Elian vinfies each parcel and grape variety separately. All fruit with the exception of Abouriou is destemmed. The domaine's cave is underground and no new oak is used in this cuvée. The grapes are vinified using three different techniques - carbonic maceration, saignée, and press - then blended in tank. Aged for 15 months sur lies.

TASTING NOTES: Best to drink with slight chill.
