Harvest : Sorted in the vineyard before the harvest, the grapes are then collected in
small crates, are de-stemmed then sorted and not crushed.
Vinification/Ageing : For the utmost effeciency and precision, each grape variety is
attributed its own vat. The harvests are undertaken with the help of small crates, the
grapes are sorted in the parcels and at the cellar. They are then placed by gravity into
10 to 30 HL wooden vats. The extraction is effectuated by soft punching down the
cap of skins. The wine is then run-off together with its lees into oak barrels to
undergo the malo-lactic fermentations. After the malo-lactic fermentations, the wine
is then aged, over lees, in oak barrels for 14 to 16 months.
