Harvest & Vinification
Harvested by hand. The grapes are destemmed and go through cold soak prior to fermentation with native yeast. This wine is vinified and aged entirely in 228 L barrels, of which 30% are new. The barrels are made from one Cooper: Doreau of Cognac. The wood comes from local Fontaines forests.
