Grolleau, planted in 1960, in the Case Neuve vineyard, where Thomas owns a plot and where he works with a very low yield (25hl/ha). The 0.33ha site, located in a riverbed between the British and Parisian continental plates, presents a wide range of soils: clay, blue slate, quartz.
Whole bunches are harvested, half of which are placed in vats with the stalks and fermented on the skins for 3 days, the other half are pressed immediately. No destemming, no crushing.

Without filtration and fining, it is bottled in September with the addition of approx. 10 mg / l of sulfur.
