At the summit of Chante-Alouette stands a house that was once a shelter for hunters hunting game birds and larks in particular (“alouette” in French). This shelter has strong magnetism as it straddles the Hartmann lines (magnetic lines).

The grapes from which this wine is produced come from three different vineyards:
• “Le Méal”: characterized by a soil of very old fluvio-glacial alluvial deposits with a high pebble content.
• “Les Murets”: whose soil is clay-gravel. Its red clay give the wines a full, rich character.
• “Chante-Alouette”: a high-lying terroir whose soil is a mixture of loess and very finely decomposed granite. It gives the wine freshness, salinity and acidity.

The musts are obtained after a long pressing and are lightly settled before fermentation. Part of the fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks and part in demi-muids.The lees are stirred up (bâtonnage) for the first 2-3 months adding texture to the wine.

40-30% takes place in stainless steel vats. The remaining 60-70% is aged in demimuids (600 litres) barrels, 10% of which are made of new wood and 90% of wood previously used for one to three wines.
