Winemaking
After hand-picking and careful sorting of the grapes in the
winery, batches are placed in separate stainless steel tanks
depending on their origin. Plot selection and traceability is
thus meticulous. Low temperature fermentation over an
extended period allows soft extraction. Each batch is then
drawn off into barrels.
Press wine is carefully selected and then blended. The
wine will then age for 12 months in French oak barrels,
25% of which are new each year.
