In the winery, all the fruit is carefully sorted and de-stemmed, then fermented in the traditional methods - open-top concrete fermenters for the reds, and stainless steel tanks for the whites. Barrel maturation takes approximately 16 months, with varying percentages of new oak, depending on the wine. In recent years, Anne has pulled back on the use of new oak, preferring to emphasise the quality of the fruit, which under her guidance, has never been better.
Saint-Amour’s soils include areas of granite and clay-limestone, (and sometimes a mixture of the two). The latter is said to produce lighter, more delicate wines, while Chermette’s vines are rooted in the classic decomposed granite. Along with the old vines, low yields and high, southeast-facing aspect, this begets a surprisingly dark and intense wine combining the dark fruits and structure of this grower’s Moulin-à-Vent with the bodyweight of the Fleurie.
