Description
The grapes are handpicked and directly delicately pressed. The must is transferred in thermo-controlled tanks for the static decanting. The clear must is fermented in inox tanks at a low temperature (16-18 °C). Once the fermentation stage is completed, the wine is kept in contact with the fine lees until spring time. In May the wine undergoes a second period of fermentation in the bottle and then rests on the lees for a period of at least 18 months. After this maturation and aging period, the remuage and dégorgement operations are implemented (in order to eliminate the lees residue); then the liquer d’expedition is added, a sirop which characterizes its sugar residue.
