Vinification
The grapes are gently whole-pressed using a pneumatic press. The resulting must is placed in a stainless steel tank for 12 hours at controlled temperature to clarify. After racking, it ferments at a controlled temperature of 18°C. The wine is then filtered and prepared for secondary fermentation.
Aging
Selected yeasts and a defined amount of sugar are added to the base wine, which is then bottled, sealed with a bidule and crown cap. It ages on the lees in the cellar for 36 months. At the appropriate time, the bottles are placed on pupitres to achieve the vertical positioning necessary for complete clarification through the expulsion of sediments formed during the secondary fermentation. After disgorgement, the bottle is sealed and left to rest for a few months before being released for sale.
