Vinification
All the grapes are handpicked in bins. The whole bunches are gently pressed in a pneumatic press to collect the purest juice, named cuvée. After two days of settling, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at about 15-17°C, with specially selected yeast strains. No malolactic fermentation is done to preserve the freshness of the wine. Meticulous blending is done before being bottled.
Maturation
After fermentation in the bottle, the wine is aged on the lees for at least 12 months prior to disgorgement.
Food Pairing
Oysters, sushi or cheese platters
