Winemaking Details
2017, another atypical year in term of climate. The intense rain during the Spring caused a late growth of the vines and preoccupations in terms of mildew, which ended up reducing the quantity of grapes the vine produced. The August and September were hot and dry, which helped the vine to finish the maturation. Grapes were hand picked, totally destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with soft hand macerations and with temperature controlled. 40% of the lot aged 6 months in French oak barrels.
