in the cellar : Special care was taken not to pick bunches with botrytis as the vintages brought some infection. No skin contact was allowed, ensuring a vibrant green juice was extracted from the grapes. Fermentation was cold at 12°C with Vin 7 as the yeast used. Some lees aging on the fine lees was undertaken before bottling.
