Vinification
Manual harvesting, sorting on vines then on the sorting table in the winery.
The grapes after destemming are put in vats. Depending on the vintages and the wishes of our winemaker, a more or less important part of the whole harvest is integrated into the vat. After a cold maceration of a few days, the active phase of fermentation takes place with temperature control. Following the pneumatic pressing, the wines are put into pieces of 228 litres (about 30% new wood) where the aging takes place. This lasts 14 months, during which the malolactic fermentation took place. One month before bottling, the wine from the different barrels is assembled in a vat. No gluing and a slight lenticular filtration precedes bottling. Bottling is done according to the lunar and biodynamic calendar is preceded by a slight fining and a slight filtration.
