WINEMAKING AND AGING
To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested then sorted out by hand and totally destemmed.
Before beginning the alcoholic fermentation they make a cold prefermentation during 4 to 6 days to work on the phelonic component's extraction. Then maceration lasts for 15 days during which we'll use only pigeages (punching the cap).
Intensity and numbers are lead to the concentration of tannins, perfumes and colour. Alcoholic fermentation is realized with natural yeasts.

After maceration, free and press wines are separated for aging.
Aging is taking place 100% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barreks during 16 months with around 40% of new barrels.

They only use French oak coming mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges forests.
