in the cellar : All grapes were hand-picked in the morning and crushed into the press as quickly as possible. Only the best free-run juice was used. The clean settled juice is then cold-fermented (12 - 13°C) with different yeast strains for different terroir parcels. The wine is matured on its lees for 2 - 3 months before the final blend is made, stabilized and bottled.
