Grapes are hand-harvested, with a very careful selection in the vineyard. After destemming, fruits are gently pressed to start alcoholic fermentation. Very frequent, although very light, batonnages are done in this phase. Aging is done in 25 hl French oak barrels for 18 months, and minimum 6 months in the bottle.
