Cultural method

Organic Culture

Harvested by hand and when ripe, the grapes are then sorted, 100% destemmed and placed in vats. The wines are cooled to around 10°C. Vatting lasts between 20 and 25 days. Each vintage is different and so is the thinking about winemaking. Our desire is to seek freshness, smoothness of the fruit and thickness of the wine. Punching down is favored as well as the notion of infusion. After racking, pressing and settling, the wine is barreled for malolactic fermentation before beginning aging for approximately 18 to 24 months. A single racking and no filtration before bottling.

15% in new barrels maximum followed by a mass of 4 to 6 months.
