Winemaking and Aging
To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested and sorted out by hand.
Following the pneumatic press, juices stay in a vat overnight for a cool settling down and then are directly filled in tanks or barrels depending on theyr aromatic profile.
Fermentations and aging are taking place for 30% in traditional Burgundian 400 litres barrels and 70% in stainless steel vats for 10 months.
We only use light toasted French oak coming mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges forests.

Art of tasting
Owning great wines in your cellar is not enough, you also need to know how to serve them.
Température is an essential element, around 53-57° F for the white and 55-59°F for the red. And if you don't have the right tasting glass which will amplify the wines's aromas, you may considerably reduce your tasting pleasure.
A great glass gives a large ventilation surface to the wine and a tightening neck, which allow the nose to grasp more easily the richness and the complexity of a great wine.
