Winemaking and Aging

To preserve their integrity grapes are carefully harvested and sorted

Grapes are previously partially destemmed. Then full maceration lasts for 15 days during which we'll use only pigeages punching the cap).

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.
