Fermentation
Vinification is conducted to express the different terroirs. The grapes are sorted into concrete tanks where the wines undergo a cold maceration of approximately 5 days before fermentation begins. Once fermentation has finished the wines are gently basket pressed and returned to concrete tanks or foudre (big barrel 1500 - 3000 litres) to begin malolactic fermentation.
Aging
Following this they are racked into oak barrels, (20 - 50 % new oak) where elevage lasts 15 - 20 months depending on the cuvée and vintage.
