2018 Tissot Arbois Savagnin Sous Voile

Slow pressing in pneumatic press followed by a gentle clarification. Fermentation in vat with native yeast followed by an ageing in old 228 liters French oak barrels during 32 months without “Ouillage” which result in the evaporation of 1/3 of the volume. The wine is protected against oxidation by a veil of yeast that forms on the surface of the wine. Very low use of sulfites only 1 gr/hl before fermentation but no SO2 needed after this step. 100% Savagnin – vines planted in 1968, 1974 & 1996. 5.6 acres of vines coming from some east and northwest oriented parcels named “En spois” and “La vasée” based on a clay of the Triassic era terroir.
