The grapes come from a rigorous selection of the best parcels of the estate. Fermentation occurs using only indigenous yeasts, in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period on the skins of about three weeks. The wine matures for 24 months in new barriques from Tronçais and Allier and completes its aging with 10 months in bottle.
