<p>The Corvées sous Curon is a special, coveted vineyard cultivated by just a few estates in the Jura. It is rich in gravel, limestone and clay and gives truly great, layered wines with aging potential.</p><p>Varieties: Chardonnay</p><p>Vineyard: Corvées sous Curon, a single vineyard with unique soil of heavy gravel, gravel-rich clay and limestone on Lias marl. Estate-owned, certified organic.</p><p>Yield: 40 hl/ha</p><p>Making of: The grapes for this wine are picked extremely carefully, with a strict sorting process in the vineyard. Gently whole-bunch pressed in pneumatic press. After a short debourbage (settling), the wine starts to ferment (native yeast only) in tanks, then is transferred to neutral barrels (no new wood). The malolactic fermentation happens the following spring, with topping off every 10 days without sulfites for a minimum of 18–24 months. Bottled according to the Maria Thun biodynamic calendar.</p>
