Harvest: Manual, harvested on September 26th
Vinification: Crushed/destemmed with 3-day maceration in large vats. Daily punching down to allow the operation of lowering the marc and re-immersing it in the fermenting must. Thus breaking the mass that compacts on the surface, the cap carried by the carbon dioxide bubbles, to facilitate the aeration of the must and encourage the multiplication of alcoholic ferments, as well as extracting color and aromas from the must. Soft pressing and end of fermentation in steel tanks. The wine is not filtered, but only a natural decantation, aided by 2 rackings, which allow a clean and bright color, as well as a rich and deep structure.
Refinement: lasted just over 1 year before being bottled
