Winemaking and Aging
To preserve their integrity grapes are carefully harvested and sorted
out by hand. Before beginning the alcoholic fermentation we make a cold pre-fermentation during 4 to 6 days to work on the phenolic component exctraction.
Grapes are previously partially destemmed . Then full maceration lasts for 15 days during which we'll use only pigeages punching the cap). Intensity and Numbers are lead to the concentration of tannins, perfumes and colour. Alcoholic fermentation is realized with natural yeasts
After maceration free and press juices are separated for aging. Aging process is taking place (100% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barrels) during 9 months with around 25% of new barrels.
We only use French oak mainly coming from Bourgogne, Allier
and Vosges forests.

Art of tasting
Owning great wines in your cellar is not enough, you also need to know how to serve them.
Temperature is an essential element around 53-57°F for the white and 55-59°F for the red. And if you don't have the right tasting glass which will amplify the wine's aromas, you may considerably reduce your tasting pleasure.
A great glass gives a large ventilation surface to the wine and a tightening neck, which allow the nose to grasp more casily the richness and the complexity of a great wine.
