For our whole harvest, the grape harvest is mechanized. The grape is forwarded in our cellar to be pressed. The pressing is soft for a maximum respect of the fruit. The must rests from 12 to 24 in cooled tanks for must racking (to take off the biggest particles, seeds and pulp). The next day, the clarified juice is put in tanks thermo regulated, the fermentation will be made in rather low temperatures there, 15-18\u00b0c, the more it will be long, the more the contribution of fruity aromas will be important. After fermentation the wine lays on fine lees to give more richness and roundness in the mouth..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
