- The Syrah is vatted with complete bunches for vinification under Co2 maceration for approximately 15 days.
- The end of the vinification process is conducted at low temperature.
- The Grenache is 100% destemmed and its maceration can last up to 3 weeks.
- The extraction process, with pumping over the cap, racking and crushing, is meticulously adapted to each vat to ensure optimal extraction of the varietal aromas and a silky, tight texture.
- Part of the wine is tramsferred immediately after pressing into 225-litre BOrdeaux barrels where it is aged for roughly 10 months.
- After light fining and bottling, it is kept for several months before marketing.
