Harvest & Vinification
The grapes are strictly sorted and undergo triple sorting upon arriving at the estate. Arnaud destems 100% of his fruit and tastes everything every day during vinification. The wine is aged in oak barrels (100% new, from Tonnelleire François Frères) for 18 months on fine lees and is racked into stainless vats for the last couple months of elevage.
