- Grapes are destemmed and pressed, then ferment slowly in steel at 12 to 13 °C. Batonnage over the winter. In February the wine goes to autoclave for the second fermentation at 10 to 11 °C, which builds a fine, persistent perlage. Fermentation ends in late June, then the wine is bottled and rested in the cellar for at least 2 to 3 months.
