Winemaking and Aging
Grapes are harvested by hand then sorted out and totally destemmed. Maceration is made and alcoholic fermentation lasts from 15 to 18 days with temperatures checking in opened tubs, with punching of the cap. The wine is aged 100 % in oak barrels with 30 to 40 % of new barrels. Malolactic fermentation is 100 % made. We use Traditional Burgundy bottles. The cork is marked with the name of the wine growing estate and the vintage.

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.
