Winery | The grapes undergo a slow and soft mechanical pressing in Coquard presses, followed by decanting at cool temperatures. Fermentation using inoculated yeasts in stainless steel at between 15°C and 18°C and partly in a barrel between 23°C and 28°C (around 32%), then matured for 6/7 months. The assemblage is created, followed by vinification using the traditional method, with second fermentation in the bottle, which is left on lees for around 18 to 24 months. |
