| The year’s weather | After a colder than average winter, the month of April was wet. May - sunny and hot - brought us an early, quick and even flowering. Afterwards, a hot, dry summer allowed the wine to bear positive water stress at ripening. The harvest took place mid-September with grapes of a quality rarely seen for many years | ||
| Type of harvesting | Hand picking | ||
| 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. ( September 2007) | ||
