Manual grape harvest involving selective sorting. |
陳年 |
In 228 litre oak barrels (marginally smaller than a standard 60 US gallon barrel) under a veil of yeast for six and a half years, without topping-up or racking, to obtain its powerful flavour of walnuts and spices. A strict selection process means that only one barrel out of three will be bottled as vin jaune, in special 620ml bottles; (the volume which is left from a litre of wine at the end of the ageing process). |
