Vinification and aging:

  • The grapes are hand-picked. 

  • After a selection of the best bunches by hand on a sorting table, the grapes are crushed and destemmed and fall by gravity in our concrete tanks.

  • Long maceration with gentle extractions allow to obtain velvetine yet powerful tannins, which are specific to our wines.

  • 10 % of the wine is then aged in oak barrels and demi-muids for 15 month, 90% in concrete vats.
