W INE-MAKING AND AGING 100% Chardonnay based wine. Manual harvesting, followed by slow, progressive pressing, makes it possible to select only the richest juices. Static racking for approximately twelve hours clarifies the musts, which are then directly put into oak barrels and stainless steel vats to begin alcoholic fermentation. The grapes of each parcel are pressed, vinified and fermented separately from those of other parcels to bring out the essential tang of each soil. Vinified and, for 15% of its volume, fermented in brand new barrels, and for the rest in barrels of 1 or 2 wines and stainless steel vats, each type is regularly agitated and tasted to bring out a perfect woody harmony. The entire vintage is assembled before bottling after a 12 month aging.
