Vinification and ageing

After harvest, the grapes are sorted twice, before and after destemming. Pre-fermentation maceration in cement vats for 3 days at 8 ° C. Alcoholic fermentation is accompanied by alternating punch-downs and gentle pump-overs to promote optimal extraction of the polyphenols. The fermentation lasted 3 to 4 weeks. Run-off in new barrels (70% for the First Wine) then malolactic fermentation. The rest of the wine is aged in second-fill barrels. The wines are then kept on fine lees with regular stirring for 2 months before being racked.
