100% destemmed harvest, sorted three times :

Maceration and natural fermentation (without yeast, enzymes, or tartaric acid) for 3 weeks in stainless steel tanks without temperature control, with daily pumping over and punching down.
Aging for 16 to 18 months in Burgundy barrels, 35-50% of which are new, followed by bottling by gravity without filtration.
We use minimal doses of SO2 from the arrival of the harvest to bottling to maintain the wine's good stability.
