Vinification and Aging

From the vineyard the boxes of Chardonnay grapes are placed in a refrigeration cell at a temperature of 4 ° C, for a duration of 24 - 36 hours. The grapes thus cool down and reach a temperature of 10 ° C. This process favors a better extraction of the varietal aromas. The cooled grapes are brought into the press for the soft pressing of the whole bunches : only 60% of the must obtained from the first pressing is used for this particular cuvée . Fermentation is carried out slowly at 16 ° C to retain all the aromas. The maturation of the base wine on the lees lasts about 7 months in stainless steel tanks and the tirage for the second fermentation takes place in the month of May.
