After harvesting by hand in the early morning hours, the grapes are carefully selected by a highly qualified staff of 25. The grapes are then deposited in closed or open fermentation tanks. There the must is left to rest for 3-5 days at a temperature of 8°. The must is pumped over once a day during this short period. Then, after raising the temperature of the tanks to 18°, the must is inoculated with selected yeasts. Fermentation in the tanks takes place at an average temperature of 24°C.
At this stage, 4 punching-downs and 1 pump-over per day take place manually. The must rests on the skins for 11 to 24 days and is then racked into 300-liter French oak barrels from Allier (80% new and 20% second use). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is left to rest for 10 months. Then the wine from the different lots is blended and placed to mature in barrels for a total of 20 months. The wine is then filtered and bottled.
