Altitude: 350 m. a.s.l. Exposure: South and South-West. |
| Harvest |
Cabernet Sauvignon, clones coming from Bordeaux with loose bunches and small berries. The choice of the harvest time was based on finding a balanced maturity. The harvest, exclusively by hand allowed a rigorous selection of the best bunches in the vineyards and then on the selection table in the cellar. |
| Vinification |
Fermentation takes place in 50 hl steel vats. Maceration lasts approximately 20 days at a controlled temperature of 25-28°C with 2 daily pump-overs and three long délestage on fermentation's third, fifth and seventh days. Malolactic fermentation in steel. First racking directly into barriques. |
| Ageing |
18 months in medium toast French oak barrels (95%) and American oak barrels (5%). The wine reaches its stability during the second winter in the wood by being submitted to the seasonal cold temperatures to clarify itself naturally. It then follows ageing in the bottle. |
