Harvest From the beginning of October. By hand, with preliminary selection of the grapes in the vineyard and subsequent selection on a sorting table.
Vinification The freshly picked grapes are crushed and destemmed before fermenting in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks with a capacity of 50 hl. The grapes spend about a month macerating on skins. This is made possible by the perfect ripeness of the grapes.
Ageing Malo-lactic fermen-tation then takes place in tonneaux with a capacity of 5 hl, 80% of which are new wood. Ageing continues in the same wooden barrels for about 24 months, with racking carried out at three-month intervals. The wine spends at least twelve months in the bottle before being released for sale.
Allergens Contains sulphites
Pairing Ideal with mature cheeses, red meats and game. Also excellent as a meditation wine.
