Winemaking and Aging
To preserve their integrity, grapes
are carefully harvested and sorted
out by hand.
Before beginning the alcoholic
fermentation we make a cold prefermentation during 4 to 6 days to
work on the phelonic component's
extraction. Grapes are previously
partially destemmed. Then full
maceration lasts for 15 days during
which we'll use pigeages (punching
the cap) and/or pumping-over.
Intensity and numbers are lead to the
concentration of tannins, perfumes
and colour.
Alcoholic fermentation is realized
with natural yeasts.
After maceration, free and press
wines are separated for aging.
Aging process is taking place 100%
in traditional Burgundian 228 liters
barrels during 8 months (0% of new
barrels).
Then the wine spends 1 more month
in sttainless-steel vats.
