Yield per hectare 9,000-10,000 kg/hectare.
Harvest The grapes are harvested between the third and fourth week of October.
Vinification Maceration lasts 15 days in stainless steel vats with delestage and frequent pumping-over to obtain a better extraction of aromatic and colouring substances while softening the tannic mass.
Ageing The wine ages 14 months partly in French oak barrels of various ages and in 30-hl French oak casks. This process refines its tannins and improves its harmonicity without giving the wine an excessive wood character. A further refinement of one year in the bottle completes its ageing and allows it to express all its complexity and extraordinary elegance.
