Green work (de-budding, leaf-thinning,...)
Winemaking:
The grapes are pressed upon arrival at the winery. We practice a fermentation with a low temperature
to keep all the flavours.
We start the alcoholic fermentation in vats to have a regular fermentation , then when alcoholic
fermentation is running we put the wine into barrels . We use only natural yeasts to keep the charm
and character of each wine.
Maturing:
In French oak barrels. The malolactic fermentation is performed in barrels with ageing on fine lees.
We made a fining to have clearer wine, then we filtered it lightly to remove impurities (a light
deposition in a bottle does not alter any taste in the wine ) Bottling in favourable lunar day.

palate is also very intense with a long finish on minerality. Aging potential : 5-10 years
