Viticulture
The entire estate was converted to organic viticulture in 2010.
Planting density is usually between 4500 and 5000 vines / ha.
Vines are conducted in traditional free or trellised goblet.
Maintaining a significant leaf cover creates a cool microclimate in the fruiting zone and allows the phenolic maturity of the grape to be reached.
Consequently, the tannins are less hard, the wines gain in complexity and depth, thanks to the long cycle.
The vinifications
The nature of the soils and the climate, associated with the a significant leaf cover, allow to reach an optimal phenolic maturity of the white and red grape varieties, while preserving the freshness of the fruit and maintaining very balanced potential alcohol levels. .
All the grapes are harvested by hand, and transported in 10 kg crates.
The grapes are sorted on a vibrating sorting table. No selected yeasts are used during the fermentations.
