Vinification
Manual harvest. Selection of the best grapes on a vibrating sorting table, 100% destemming prior to vatting. This burgundy-style maceration lasts 12 to 15 days with two pumping over operations per day. Aging is done on fine lees in old oak casks to enhance micro-oxygenation. The other part of the crop is matured in vats in order to preserve fruit aromas. A small part is also aged in one year old oak barrels for 3 to 4 months. The wine is estate bottled.

Enjoy with game, red meat and strong cheeses.
