Dolg opis
This wine is made from a blend of four plots. The vinification takes place in unclad, rough concrete tanks. The vatting period lasts from 4 to 5 weeks with regular pumping over operations carried out at the start of the maceration, some cap punching, and then a passive infusion with a stirring of the lees in the last 3 weeks. By tasting the wine in the tank each day, they are able to tailor different operations to the wine and determine the best running-off date. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel. 50% in 228-litre barrels (pièces bourguignonnes), 50% in 600-litre barrels (demi-muids), of which 20 to 25% are new. The wine is racked at the end of winter. Ageing can last 12 to 18 months depending on the vintage and tastings of the wine.
