From winemaking to wine production

A very high-quality range!

THEPinot NoirThe grapes are lightly crushed and destemmed before maceration for 3 to 4 weeks. Temperatures are controlled using temperature-controlled tanks, ensuring the freshness and balance of the final wine. Aging takes place in 228-liter oak barrels for approximately one year. The blend is then assembled in large oak casks, and the wine is gently clarified before being filtered and bottled at the estate.

For the white wines, the grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery using a pneumatic press. After settling, the wine is transferred to oak barrels for 10 months of fermentation. The wine is then blended in tanks and lightly filtered.
