Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates. After destemming and a soft crushing, fermentation with native yeasts takes place in oak vats for about 8/10 days at controlled temperatures between 27 and 30 degrees. Then maceration continues for another 10 days.
In the initial phase, pumping over and especially hand-pulling of the cap are carried out.
Maturation: Depending on the characteristics of the vintage, the wine is aged from 12 to 18 months in small French oak barrels sourced from the forests of the Massif Central and of capacities between 225 and 350 liters. The blending of the barrels takes place after aging.
Aging: Before marketing, the wine is aged in bottles for about four years.
Format: 0.75lt
Aging potential: for several decades, but the optimal aging period varies, depending on the vintage, from the eighth to the tenth year after harvest.
Pairings: first courses with game meat, game in general and aged cheeses.
