VINIFICATION : The grapes are chilled in crates at 2°C for 24 hours, followed by gentle pressing of the whole bunch. The must is kept cold for 10 days, then static decantation of the must and the first racking to clarify the juice. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation at 16°C for approximately 3 weeks in 2.25 hl French oak barrels of first use, with weekly batonnage.
