VITICULTURE / VINIFICATION

• Planting density ranges from 6000 to 7000 vines per hectare
• A grassy cover crop is left between the rows of vines
• The vineyards are worked by “subsoiling”, which aerates the earth and allows microorganisms to develop freely, which in turn helps nourish the vines
• Grapes are hand harvested, de-stemmed, and sorted
• Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel or lined concrete tanks, and lasts three weeks
• Wines are pumped over and/or the caps punched down regularly, depending on the needs of each individual cuvée
• Parcels are vinified separately, then blended before élevage
• 18-month élevage in barriques, 30-50% new
• Wines are not fined or filtered
