The soil of the Perrières is difficult to work and very fragile. This was one of the reasons that the vineyard was abandoned after the phylloxera crisis. However, the wine produced is wonderfully lively and very mineral. From 2002 to 2011, they aged the wine for 18 months in second or third generation oak barrels. Since 2012, they have gone back to aging it for 11 months, to keep all its vitality. The wine is bottled with no fining or filtering. It needs at least two or three years after being bottled to show its true colors. You could cellar it for more than 15 years.
