A small part of the whole harvest can be incorporated depending on the state of the raw material. After a cold maceration of a few days, the active phase of fermentation takes place with temperature control. During this period, the wine is pumped over and\/or punched down. After pneumatic pressing the wines are put into barrels (about 30% new wood) where the maturing process takes place. 15 months for this wine, during which time the malolactic fermentation took place. One month before bottling, the wine from the different barrels is assembled in vats. There is no gluing, just a light lenticular filtration before bottling.

The bottling is done according to the lunar calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTASTING NOTES  The palate is on fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, then the spicy tannins give lamb’s lettuce and a velvety structure.
