Viticulture and production
Organic. Each variety is harvested separately. Fermentation takes place in a 10,000 L truncated conical concrete tank. Pre-maceration is carried out at 3-4°C for 24 hours in a cold room. Maceration lasts approximately 18-21 days. Pump-overs are performed twice daily until the wine reaches a density of 1020, at which point aeration is reduced. Three rackings are carried out between densities of 1070-1040. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. The temperature is controlled below 25°C. Approximately 14 months of aging are in French oak barrels from Alliers (first, second, and third year). Volumes are 225 and 300 liters.
