Winemaking and Aging
WINEMAKING
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 barrels by gravity.
Fermentations and aging are taking place 100% in traditional Burgundian 228 litres barrels during 12 months (with 20% of new oak). Then, the wine spends 5 months
in tanks before bottling.
