Harvest & Vinification
The old vines are 100% de-stemmed, then put in tank with morning and evening punch downs. For the younger vines, located on the foothills of Cornas and harvested later, the grapes remain 100% whole cluster and go through the same punch down regimen. Vinification lasts 22 to 28 days. These two wines are both aged 12 months in oak barrels and are blended before bottling.
