Vinification
The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed before being cold-soaked for a gentle and short maceration. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete or stainless-steel vats, at 26°- 28°C, to preserve maximum fruit, with daily pump-overs. The malolactic fermentation is followed by ageing in 100 year old oak vats for 6 to 12 months.
Vintage
2017 was a good year with low yields. With beautiful rich and deep colors, the red wines are powerful, round and balanced. Whites and rosés are full-bodied and have kept good freshness.
