<p>Le Bateau is considered one of the best lieu-dits of Cramant and Adrien’s vines planted there are the oldest of the estate. The vineyard was planted in 1951 by Adrien’s great-grandfather.</p><p>It is made entirely in oak with only with indigenous yeasts. It spends 8 months on lees in barrel. There is no filtration, fining, or cold stabilization. He leaves it to age in his cellar for 3-4 years and one additional year on cork after disgorgement. Dosage is less than 3g/L but in past vintages has been zero dosage.</p>
