Winemaking: Each variety and parcel are harvested and pressed separately. The juice undergoes 2 days of cold settling, then is racked off the gross lees straight into barrels. Fermentation begins naturally using only indigenous yeasts and is carried out entirely in 228L French oak barrels (12% new). Stirring of the fine lees begins near the end of alcoholic fermentation. A low dose of sulfur was added after the completion of malolactic fermentation.

Maturation: Aged 8 months, in 228L French oak barrels with 12% of the volume in new barrels. The barrels are made from tight grained French oak that is lightly toasted, and specially selected from the coopers Chassin and Damy. Racked and blended one month prior to bottling. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
