VINIFICATION & MATURATION
The grapes are cut and sorted by hand. The proportion of destemming varies according to each vintage. A daily punching of the cap is done to extract the color, the tannins and the aromas from the grapes. After 19 days of vatting, the alcoholic fermentation is completed. The free-run wine is drained by gravity while a slow and gentle pressing of the marc allows to obtain a press wine of great purity. For 18 months, our wines are aged in French oak barrels (50% new barrels and 50% one-wine barrels) in our cellars with a natural and constant hygrometry and temperature. These barrels are selected for the fineness of their grain and their moderate toasting.
