Jérôme François farms 7ha, having taken over his family’s tiny 0.2ha plot at just 23. Inspired by his grandfather, a viticultural scientist, he’s grown the domaine with help from friends and the strength of Sirius, his horse. Nearly all  wines are single vineyard but multi-variety, depending on the plot. 

From a single vineyard on granite soils. The fruit is pressed off over a 9 hour period. Strengthening the wine with hyper oxygenation and adding a little more complexity from a tiny amount of skin contact. From the press straight into barrel, where they are left on the gross and fine lees until bottling. The wines are not racked.
