Their winemaking philosophy prioritizes minimal intervention, utilizing native yeast fermentations and patient maturation in a combination of barrel and tank to provide structural balance without obscuring the site's inherent character. The 2021 vintage, defined by a cool and challenging growing season, favored a slower, more deliberate ripening process, which ultimately preserved intense nerve and tension. The resulting wine is marked by a deep, concentrated materiality, held in check by a relentless, high-toned acidity and a persistent, saline mineral backbone. It is a precise expression of Anjou schist, eschewing opulence for architectural clarity and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T.
