100% Malbec (aka Auxerrois locally). "Au Cerisier" comes from a single 1.2-hectare estate plot next door to a cherry orchard, hence the name of the bottling. The vines average 40 years old and are planted on red clay soils over limestone bedrock. The farming is certified-organic and in conversion to biodynamics. The yield is kept to 35-40 hl/ha. The bunches are hand-harvested and mainly destemmed. The juice ferments at cool temperatures with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks with around 20 days of maceration. The wine is aged in cement for 14 months and bottled without filtration and with minimal sulfur.
