Vinification
Grapes from the highest part of the vineyard, selected for ripeness and picked in 20 kg crates. After soft air pressing (80% destemmed, 20% whole bunch) and cryo-maceration in steel, the must is racked and given a pied de cuve of indigenous yeasts. 50% ferments in first, second and third-use acacia and oak tonneaux, 50% in two 15 hL vats. The wines stay on their lees without racking and without added sulphites; malolactic fermentation and 10-12 months ageing on the lees with batonnage; bottled unfiltered.
