The estate drastically reduces the use of additives in the winery. Pressing is carried out without added sulfur, promoting gentle oxidation. The winemaker makes only a slight adjustment during bottling, keeping the total sulfur content below the regulatory limit.

In this context, the two letters stand for the term "Sans Apport." This acronym reinterprets the traditional practice of blending several consecutive vintages. The estate takes this concept a step further by adopting a continuous blending process: the annual addition of new juice constantly renews this cycle.

Total production is around twenty thousand bottles per year. This modest volume reflects the small size of the vineyard, a factor compounded by rigorous grape sorting and manual bottling, which physically limit production rates.

The pressing facility employs a rigorous system of must separation. The very first pressings—the cuvée—are carefully set aside. The second pressings, which are high in vegetal bitterness, are systematically discarded. The juices are then left to settle at cold temperatures overnight.
