Vinification
The grapes are hand-picked and selected. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The Viognier is vinified separately and a small percentage is blended with the red varieties, which contributes floral nuances and elegance - a technique inspired by Côte-Rôtie. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels (French oak), adding complexity, spices and structure.
