| The year’s weather | The winter was very wet with little frost. Budding on March 15th. Flowering was grouped around June 5th. It was wet in July but hot and dry afterwards. A lot of work was done in green harvesting. Beginning of the harvest : September 20th. | ||

| Vinification | Cold maceration prior to fermentation for 72 hours, then alcoholic fermentation for 8-10 days at 28°, then maceration for about a week, followed by a free run with separation of the free run from the press wine | ||
| Ageing | 50% of this wine is put into French oak casks for a year, the rest into vats. About every two months it is drawn off in order to clarify and stabilize it by adjusting the amount of sulphur which is an essential element in keeping the wine. Blending enables a unique wine to be created from the different grape varieties. | ||
| Bottling | Some time before this operation the wine is naturally fined (clarified) with egg white. At the bottling stage we filter for a second time to remove all undesirable elements still in suspension. (MAY 2003) | ||
