Total destemming. Before fermentation, cold maceration for 4 to 5 days. After fermentation, a maceration at 30 °C. Malolactic fermentation in barrels. Each parcel is vinified separately in small vats to reveal the special characteristics of each. Cap punching and pumping over is carried out three times a day during the alcoholic fermentation. Once the sugars have been transformed, a hot maceration is carried out after the fermentation to add fat and to round off the tannic structure. De-vatting is guided by daily tastings. The total maceration generally lasts 3 to 4 weeks.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged 12 months in 100 % oak (30% new) from Allier and Nevers then 6 months in bottles before being marketed.
