The Manoir is an old medieval chateau, located on the top of a dale, facing the Domaine de l’A (Stephane Derenoncourt’s own property). Put together, the various parcels of this small valley make up the whole vineyard. The vines are classified according to their age and their degree of exposure to the sun. The combination of our rigorous work in the vineyard and ideal natural conditions (clay-limestone soils, south-exposed slopes, natural draining), enables the grapes to reach perfect maturity. The berries are picked according to each parcel’s stage of maturation and a highly precise vinification can then be undertaken. Our job in the winery is based on accurate extractions, in order to obtain a very fine wine, with a great fruit character and elegant tannins.
