Yields are kept very low, and the average potential alcohol at harvest is very high for the region, typically around 11 degrees, an intentional and risky technique employed by Agrapart, resulting in this producer rarely, if ever, having to chaptalise. 

The grapes are pressed with a traditional Coquard vertical press, and fermentation is carried out with natural yeasts, which Agrapart feels is crucial to the expression of terroir. Malolactic conversion is completed for all the wines, and aging is, for the most part, in old, 600-litre demi-muids. Dosage, done with a traditional liqueur d’expédition of cane sugar, varies from wine to wine, although it is usually around 3-4 g/L. The wines are typically bottled around the full moon of May following the harvest, with no filtration and no cold stabilisation. Extended lees aging is the norm for this producer.
