VINEYARD WORK
This parcel is carried out in organic farming, and is worked biodynamically
and with phytotherapy. The soils are sown in August to create a varied
plant cover (field beans, field peas, rye, oats, red clover, etc.) to promote
microbiological life.
A gentle pruning technique is used to encourage sap flow.
HARVEST METHOD
Harvested by hand and grapes are placed in small perforated boxes. This plot is always the last to be harvested. The harvest is sorted on a vibrating sorting table, and then by hand.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
This cuvée contains between 60 and 100% of whole bunches. The fermentation
process begins using the naturally present yeast, following a
pre-fermentation cold maceration process. Frequent pigeage, 3-4 times
per day, to obtain maximum extraction.
MATURATION
In oak barrels (30% new wood) for 16-18 months.
BOTTLING
We bottle our wines ourselves on the estate, with no fining or filtration,
and according to the lunar calendar, producing wonderfully clear wines
with the best possible flavours.
