Harvesting ...

Parcel-by-parcel sélection: silt-clay soil of the boulbène type. We prefer the hills to the northeast, which produce well-balanced wines.

Harvest date: according to regular berry tasting. Grapes are picked at the end of October.

Blend:

80% Petit Manseng

20% Gros Manseng

Vinification...

Slow, gentle pressing in a pneumatic press to avoid oxidation of the juice and preserve aromas.

Cold settling to preserve fruity aromas

Stabulation : cold settling on fine lees with daily stirring of the lees, which brings fatness and aromatic richness.

Alcoholic fermentation: in temperature-controlled tanks at 16-17 °C. It is stopped by the cold when the sugar-alcohol balance is reached.

Aging...

6 months in temperature- controlled vats to limit the addition of sulfites.

Bottled in spring after the harvest
