Vinification
When the time for harvesting finally arrives and the must has been extracted, it is taken to oak barrels for fermentation. But not any old oak will do. We have always sought out wood that respects our grapes, an oak which harmonises and never overpowers. A French forest supplied us with the answer: the forest of Allier, whose elegance and refinement provided the touch of distinction that our exquisite Chardonnay deserved. Pre-fermentative skin maceration. Alcoholic fermentation in Allier oak barrels. Aged in barrels for 5/7 months on its own lees with frequent bâtonnages. Carefully fined, cellulose filtered
Vineyard
Cold summer nights which bring freshness and delicacy. Days are warm enough for perfect ripening, which takes place slowly, like a well-made stew.
