Vinification
This special cuvée is made with the most ripe grapes grown on the best substrates. There is a peel maceration and a long aging on yeast. The plots are vinified individually according to the ripeness of the grapes. The vines are on average 30 years old. The pneumatic pressing is followed by a static pre-clarification at mild temperatures. Afterwards, the fermentation takes place at a constant temperature for 3 weeks.
