The harvest is manual and carried out after a check of the maturity for each plot, by tasting the berries. After a traditional start of vinification, fermentation is blocked before pressing by a “on grain” mutage. This technique, associated with a long maceration (from 14 to 20 days), allows optimal extraction of aromatic substances and tannic. Mutage on grains can only be carried out on excellent quality harvests. Part of the wine is aged in barrels while the other is aged in vats in order to preserve the fruity aromas.
