Details

Wine is vinified in wood foudres, capacity of 30 to 40 hecto-liters
The only intervention during fermentation and aging of wine is the maintaining of temperature between 20 and 22 degrees Celsius
Each parcel is pressed separately in a small pneumatic press
The must is put in stainless steel for a 24-36 hour cold-soak, then the wine is transferred to foudre where it stays for fermentation and levage
The lees are never stirred unless it is needed (in the case of reduction for example)
The wine is raised for 10-12 months depending on the vintage
