Ageing
Final blending takes place early, at the end of
November, then the wine is put in barrels (33% new) in midDecember to age for a further 12 months.
Harvest
After picking, the separated berries are sorted twice at
the cellar, first mechanically and then by hand. The grapes are
vatted with no addition of sulphur and yeast inoculation is
carried out when the vats are first filled, based on the principle of
the bioprotection.
Vinification
Cold pre-fermentation maceration at 4 C for 6 to
10 days under blanket gas. Slow fermentation at temperatures
below 26 C with 2 to 3 rack and return operations by gravity per
day. Maceration under skins for 10 to 21 days at 28 C. The
average period in vats is 21 to 32 days.
