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 prefermentation during 4 to 6 days to work on the phelonic component's extraction. We work since 2014 with 'vendanges entières' full clusters (30%) .
Then 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 wines are separated for aging. Aging is taking place 100% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barrels during 16 months with around 30% of new barrels. We only use French oak coming mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges forests.
Then the wines spends 3 month in tanks before bottling.

EYE
Deep and shining red color with purple reflects.
NOSE
The nose is complex and delicate. It develops floral (violet) and spicy notes (black pepper).

The final is long, fresh and with a bit of saltiness

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 allow the nose to grasp more casily the richness and the complexity of a great wine.
