After picking by hand the grapes are 100% destemmed and cold soaked for three days before starting their 2-3 week spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel. Malolactic is finished naturally by the end of spring.
Aged one year in inox and a second in 228-liter old oak barrels and 50-80hl foudre and then kept in the cellar for at least another two or so years.
The hamlet of Irancy is tucked in at the bottom of an amphitheatre about a 20 minute drive west of Chablis. It shares the same basic geology as Chablis: Portlandian limestone on the upper, flat sections and Kimmerigean limestone marls down the slope.
Irancy has a special climate for Pinot Noir because of its horseshoe shape that faces south, west and north, with another face that wraps outside the southwest corner with more south and west expositions, like Veaupessiot and La Palotte. The Pinot Noir from the north face is often used for cremant or rosé because it has a more difficult time ripening.
