The vinification is done in two modern cellars with access to the latest technology. The fermentation is done in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to apply the special method that Philippe Dourthe developed in 1982. It means that you macerate the first few days with a relatively low temperature to extract the fruit aromas of the grapes. At the end of the fermentation you let the temperature rise to extract the finest tannins and a beautiful color. The malolactic fermentation follows. The wine is then stored for 18-20 months on oak barrels, of which 50-75% are new depending on the vintage. The wine is cleared with egg white.
