in the cellar : The grapes received 6 hours skin contact before being gently pressed in a "pneumatic" tank press. After inoculation the juice was fermented in 52% new, and 48% second-fill barrels. The wine spent 7 months "sur lie" with occasional "batonage" to accentuate the leesy character. 27% tank-fermented Sauvignon Blanc was added to the blend.
