Its founder, Takahiko Soga, favours aromatic references such as dashi, mushrooms, undergrowth, miso, shoyu and saké over traditional fruity and floral registers. This identity stems both from the cool, wooded terroir of Yoichi and from a winemaking approach aimed at fully expressing the natural micro-organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domaine follows a low-interventionist approach: long whole-cluster fermentations, use of indigenous yeasts, no addition of sulphites during fermentation, and ageing predominantly in old oak barrels.
