The entire vineyard is managed using sustainable viticulture, certified as HVE3 (High Environmental Value), and we are committed to a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach certified by Ecovadis.
Vinification : The grapes are harvested at their maximum aromatic potential. Maceration of the berries under inert gas to capture the best of the grape skins, then delicate and fragmented pressing. Clarification of the must, then entonnage in 225L and 300L French barrels. Regular stirring of the lees during the alcoholic fermentation in barrels.
Ageing : On the lees in French oak barrels for 8 months with interval stirring.
