Bnigne Joliet considers that there are four separate terroirs here and each is vinified and aged separately and blended just before bottling. The soil varies with stoney limestone, clay, a mix of clay and limestone and then the area near the woods at the top of the slope is cooler than the rest of the vineyard.The youngest vines are ten years old and are not blended into this cuve, so the vines are 40-90 years old. In 2019, the wine was made with100% whole cluster during vinification and aged in oak, approximately 20% new.
