The 10 different plots on major slopes such as “Lancement,” “La Landonne,” “Fongeant,” “Côte Bodin” and “Les Moutonnes,” are schist-dominated and are all processed into one cuvée "Les Terasses.” The ripeness of the fruit determines the harvest time and Jean-Luc is (together with his brother) one of the last vignerons to practice this philosophy in the region. The plots are partly vinified together and gradually "cross over" assembled and mounted. In addition to the use of a maximum of 20% new barrels (demi-muids and pièces) and 20 to 22 months of barrel aging, to gain complexity, Jean-Luc chooses to ferment 1/3 part in whole clusters.

Deep ruby. A mineral and smoke-tinged bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits and liquorice; a floral nuance builds as the wine opens with air. Shows very good energy and spicy lift to its juicy boysenberry and bitter cherry flavours, which are complemented by suggestions of allspice, smoked meat and candied liquorice. Finishes long and taut, with repeating cherry notes, chewy tannic grip and a jolt of spicy cracked pepper.
