Traditional wine-making. A very special attention is paid to the health state of the crop, harvested in full over-ripeness. Complete de-stalking of the grapes before macerating in vats during 3 weeks, under heat monitoring, with a regular punching of the cap. Fermentation under the effect of selected yeasts. Once the fermenting process achieved, free-run and press wine are kept separately, and partly or totally blended, according to the vintage aromatic and gustatory expression.
Long ageing of 18 months in “merrain” oak barrels, already with patina to preserve the finesse of the wine. Egg-white fining.
Alcohol content : 13,5 %.
