in constant search of precision, Yves pays particular attention to the quality of its vines and refuses the "ready-to-think". His vision of viticulture is very personal: neither conventional, nor organic, nor biodynamic. His philosophy is simple: "Produce the best grapes possible

A selection of old vines facing East / South-East, and located on the hillside of Verlieu. The name of the cuvée refers to the hamlet of "Bois Lombard" above the vineyard plots.

Terroirs: sandy and granite soils

Grape varieties: 100% Marsanne.

Viticulture: Natural grassing to fight against erosion. Treatments limited to the maximum depending on the weather, no insecticide to preserve biodiversity, little fertilizer and only organic. Control of vigor and yields, l

Vinification: manual harvesting, parcel and traditional vinification. Use of oenological products (indigenous yeasts) as little as possible. Vinification and ageing 50% in wooden barrels of 30 hectoliters and 50% in Burgundy barrels without racking, 8 months on lees. 

Ageing: 9 months in barrels, on lees, without racking, with regular batonnages.

Olfactory tasting: nose of great aromatic finesse on notes of white flowers, small dried  and roasted fruits.
