N/A

Harvested when ripen, the grapes are protected from oxidation (the vineyard is centred around the vatting rooms). Moderated pressing. Severe settling and cold stalling over the fine must deposit from the juices (to extract the precursory aromas). Cool fermentation (between 15 and 17°C). Ageing over lees (no racking
at the end of alcohol fermentation). Lees are regularly suspended (traditional Burgundy practice popularly called ¿stirring the lees¿).
