After rigorous upkeep throughout the summer, the grapes are picked when ripe. It’s harvest time\u2026Les Vendanges<\/p>\n
The grapes are de-stemmed, sorted and put into temperature-controlled vats where they are vinified according to the plots and vineyards they come from.<\/p>\n
After alcoholic fermentation the fruit remains to macerate in the vats for a period of 3 to 4 weeks. The wines are tasted daily with our oenologist, in order to find the optimum moment to draw off the wine and send the pulp and skins to our vertical presses.<\/p>\n
Maturing in French oak barrels lasts 12 months, during which time the wines are racked once or twice.<\/p>\n
Then they undergo assembly and fining before being bottled at the Chateau.<\/p>\n
Our wines are elaborated in order to maintain the flavour of ripe fruit throughout their development. Aging in oak barrels perfects the structure and balance.<\/p>\n
The maturing process is adapted to each of our wines and will give them aptitude to age and become more refined as time goes by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
