in the vineyard : Vine age: 25 years
Density: 4,000 vines per hectare
Yield: 7.2 tons per hectare
A low canopy allowed optimal sunlight penetration. Minimal irrigation was used. The fruit ripened slowly allowing the development of small bunches with highly concentrated flavours.

about the harvest: Grapes were picked at 24.9° B.

in the cellar : Grapes were whole-bunch pressed to 1.2 bars of pressure. The juice was left to settle for two days and racked to barrel. Using only wild yeast, fermentation occurred over a two month period. The wine spent 14 months on the lees. New, small French oak barrels were used.

Production: 5 900 bottles.
