Winemaking: Harvested early in the morning at Domaine Oedipoda in Beaujolais and driven 1.5 hours by truck to the village of Domblans in the Jura. Half of the grapes were crushed by foot in a stainless-steel tank. The other half were left as whole bunches and added to the tank of crushed grapes to macerate for 13 days. Fermentation began spontaneously using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts. On the 14^th day the grapes were manually pressed using an old basket press, with the press cycle taking 12 hours to complete. The juice was given 1 night of settling, before racking off the gross lees into a stainless-steel tank to complete fermentation. No sulfur additions were made during the vinification of this wine.

Maturation: Aged 8 months in stainless-steel tanks. Bottled without fining or filtration.
