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.
