Production notes
Freshly harvested grapes are crushed and yeasted quickly using a tank foot prepared 6 days before the harvest in order to use indigenous yeasts. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is cooled to 18°C for the malolactic process, then to 15°C to control the microorganisms. It is aged in stainless steel vats and amphora to smooth out the tannins. After 7 months of ageing, the wine is bottled before the summer heat. The wine is fined with pea proteins, then tightly filtered to ensure perfect stability.
