Minimal amount of SO2 added just before bottling.

Arnauld Cassini is one of a few producers leading a revolution. A revolution against the intervention-heavy winemaking which has plagued one of the worlds finest terroirs. With close friends Catherine and Pierre Breton, and taking inspiration from Didier Dagueaneau, he takes a hands-off approach in the vineyard. This extends to the cellar, where he uses no oak (preferring concrete as a vessel for fermentation and maturation), minimal sulphur and neither fines nor filters his wines. As a result, Arnauld describes himself as a natural winemaker which he takes to mean that his wines are a pure reflection of their terroir. Working towards his biodynamic certification he has practised this way for years and the wines show a vitality and uniqueness that is incredibly compelling. This is rebel winemaking at its best and the wines are delicious.
