Small cellars of medium dampness in 350 litre LImousin oak barrels.

Normal Charentais still, probably around 15 - 20 hltrs The stills were quite old and of traditional shape and quite likely to be coal or wood fired.

Ugni Blanc possibly some Folle Blanche

Viticulture:
Many people say that the chalk here is more porous and allows the vines better penetration to the underground streams ultimately leading to high quality grapes.
