VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted out when picking the grapes. The grapes are wholly pressed in a pneumatic press at a low pressure to get a slow extraction. After a cold settling of 12 hours at 13°C, then gentle racking of the must, the wine is put in French oak casks (20% of new oak). The primary and malolactic fermentations can then begin with wild yeasts.

AGEING
The ageing is long on fine lees during 18 months. A month before the bottling, the wine from the different barrels is put in a stainless steel tank to make the blend. The wine is finally fined and gently filtered before bottling it following the lunar calendar ("fruit” day to get a wine on freshness and minerality).
