WINEMAKING AND AGEING

The year 2020 saw the modernization of the cuverie. We abandoned the cement vinification vats in exchange for temperature controlled stainless steel vats, allowing a greater reactivity throughout the elaboration of the wines.

A perfect respect of the grapes allied with the right balance between traditional methods and modern technology ensure the control of plot vinification, meeting our quality requirements.

«We love to produce wines that respect the grape; wines that have finesse, an abondance of freshness, silky et lingering on the palate»

OUR RED WINES

Pinot Noir

The grapes are placed in temperature regulated vats thanks to stainless steel trays for a cold maceration, perfect for the Pinot Noir, during 7 to 10 days.

The winemaking is traditional and natural.  We work with the natural yeasts of the grapes (indigenous yeast) to promote the original expression of the terroirs.

The alcoholic fermentation occurs naturally, and we let it infuse for 10 to 15 days during which we taste it 1 to 2 times per day.  According to our impressions, we perform a light punching down and pumping over to obtain a gentle and perfect extraction.  Each wine finds its balance, we simply monitor the temperatures to keep them from getting too high during the fermentation.

The marcs are then deposited in our pneumatic press to gently extract the juice.

The barreling is done through gravity, ensuring the greatest respect of the wine.

The wine is aged over 12 to 18 months according to the vintages, in oak barrel from the best French forests (central France), with a 10% to 30% proportion of new casks according to the appellations. The red wines are aged in traditional Burgundian barrels of 228 liters.

OUR WHITE WINES

Chardonnay

Once sorted, the bunches are placed in the pneumatic press, which allows a slow and progressive extraction of the juice.  After a static clarification, the must is put into 500-liter oak barrels.  There they began their fermentation.  The wines are aged over a period of 10 to 12 months.
