- TERROIR: L’Étoile is a small appellation in Jura known for its fossil-rich marl and limestone soils, with high elevations and a cool continental climate ideal for structured, mineral-driven wines.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts; secondary fermentation occurs in bottle following the méthode traditionnelle.
