Winemaking
The grapes went through a double selection process and were harvested into small concrete containers. Alcoholic fermentation began with indigenous yeasts at 26°C for 15 days. In order to maintain careful, gentle handling, pumping over was not used, instead the cap was rotated by manual pigeage throughout the fermentation. The wine was matured in 3,500 litre untoasted foudres for 18 months, and a further 12 months in bottle.
