Enology
| Aging Process | 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels of various capacities, ages, and origins in order to smooth the impact of the wood as much as possible and allow a fair expression of the nuances of the appellation. |
| Fermentation | A cold pre-fermentation maceration phase allows the gentle extraction of tannins and aromas before the appearance of alcohol. Pigging and pumping over are decided on a case-by-case basis in order to obtain an optimal balance guaranteeing beautiful harmony. |
