Aging
30 months in 25-hl French oak barrels followed by 6 months of resting in natural concrete vats before bottling.
Harvest
Cold winter and cooler-than-average spring caused slow sprouting. Abundant rains during the growing season helped the plants achieve balance, essential for
accumulating polyphenols and reaching perfect ripeness. Strong temperature shifts in September and October further improved the maturation with excellent results
all over the region. Hand-picked grapes on October 14th and 15th.
Terroir
Plateau with South exposure with presence of gravel and rich in stones and other parcels with South exposure. Vine training: spurred cordon and Guyut.
Organic and sustainable farming. Green manuring and cover cropping are applied as needed to balance nutrients, improve porosity, and reduce erosion. Pruning is tailored to vineyard age, soil type, vigor, and exposure to minimize stress and enhance longevity. Copper, sulfur, and natural antagonists combat pathogens. Natural manure boosts soil vitality, and plant fortifiers strengthen vines' defenses.
Vinification
Grape sorting for quality selection and 10-day fermentation in concrete tulip tanks, followed by an additional 18 days of maceration.
