Vineyard Management
Two types of pruning are applied here: Guyot for the more delicate plants and Cordon de Royat for the more vigorous ones. We use reasoned viticultural methods with no use of herbicides, only tilling of the soil. Yields are controlled by disbudding and green harvesting if necessary.
Winemaking and Maturing
The grapes are hand-picked into small crates and sorted before being 100% destemmed.
Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 5 to 6 days at 10 – 12°C. Vatting lasts 15 days with cap punching and pumping over, with the rhythm being determined by the characteristics of each vintage.
Matured 100% in barrels of which 25% are new, for a total of 12 to 15 months. The wine is then bottled after a light filtering if necessary.
