Hand-picked, grape selection in the cellar before destemming.
The harvest began at the end of August with the Merlot, followed by the Cabernet Franc and at the end of September by the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Selected parcels vinified partly in steel, and partly in oak vats and 500-liter barrels.
Long maceration on the skins up to 30 days for Cabernet Sauvignon and up to 20 for Cabernet Franc and Merlot, to preserve the elegance of the tannins. Most of it fermented with indigenous yeasts.
