Vinification
Hand-picked in crates; after soft pressing the must is fermented in temperature-controlled steel fermenters, then matures on the lees. The following spring the wine is re-fermented in bottle at 15°C for about 50 days; bottles rest on the lees for a minimum 30 months before riddling (remuage) and, after about 30 days, disgorgement and dosage.
