about the harvest: Grapes were picked early in the morning.

in the cellar : The grapes were stored at 6°C until the next morning before being destemmed and gently crushed to preserve the flavours of the grapes. All the cultivars were fermented at 12°C and spent 2 months on lees. Blended before stabilization.
