Harvest Manual

Vinification The best plots provide the grapes for this wine. The harvest is done by hand. The grapes are transported to the cellar in small crates. They remain there for 24 hours in a cool room at 3°C. This is followed by a second selection. The grapes are gently pressed. The juice undergoes cold settling. Fermentation takes place in new French oak. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine ages for ten months in the same barrels. During this period, the wine undergoes bâtonnage for increased depth and structure.
