Pruning is conducted to bring each plant to its maximum life. We respect the lymphatic channels and keep only one fruit head per year. We prune the greenery in May, clean heads and stems, we remove secondary shoots. At the end of July with the beginning of veraison we start the thinning.<\/p>\n
The vine only concentrates on what remains, giving its best.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1716451343466{background-color: #f3f1ed !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1713801479998{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1713801289053{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1713801496267{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/947308403″ align=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1716903235459{background-color: #f3f1ed !important;}” el_class=”force_same_height”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_content_width=”grid”][vc_column_inner el_class=”font_variation_0424″ width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”font_variation_0424_2″ width=”1\/2″]

\n\t\tFROM HARVEST TO BOTTLE.\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Harvesting is strictly manual. We harvest the earliest grapes at the end of August, the late ones in mid-October. They all arrive undamaged on the sorting table, where we make a further selection of the bunches, again by hand.<\/p>\n
After destemming and crushing, the must goes into the tank for spontaneous fermentation and long maceration. We carry out 5 pumpovers per day: strictly by hand, like the fulling. We separate the wine from the skins, with a soft, low-yield pressing, which is done by gravity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1715950029225{background-color: #f3f1ed !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6674″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1715952361725{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1716903243876{background-color: #f3f1ed !important;}” el_class=”force_same_height”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_content_width=”grid”][vc_column_inner el_class=”font_variation_0424″ width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”font_variation_0424_2″ width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]We then age our reds in French wood, barriques and tonneaux.
