Winemaking
One hour of skin contact cold maceration prepares the grapes for soft crushing. The must is clarified and fermented at controlled temperatures (17°C.). The final cuvée consists of 90% clear wine and 10% of the previous vintage wine aged in French oak barriques. Fermentation takes place in the bottle (Classical Method). Yeast contact is extended for at least 30 months followed by traditional hand riddling (rémuage) on pupitres and dégorgement à la glace. A period of bottle aging follows.
