- Vinification
- Whole grapes are softly pressed; after static settling the clean must goes to alcoholic fermentation. In late spring after the harvest the base wine is bottled with sugar and yeast (tirage) for the second fermentation in bottle (classic method). At least 30 months on the fine lees, then disgorgement and topping up with a liqueur d'expedition without added sugar.
