Grapes and vinification: 33% Cabernet Franc, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot
The manual harvest begins with the Merlot and ends with the Cabernet Sauvignon and often more than a month can elapse between one grape variety and another. The grapes are immediately crushed and destemmed and then taken to steel tanks where the fermentation on the skins begins at a controlled temperature (28/30 ° C) which lasts for about a week. Maceration continues for about 15/20 days, with frequent pumping over and punching down aimed at extracting aromatic and coloring substances from the skins. 11 wine then begins its journey in wood where it remains for 18 months and is then bottled without further oenological operations. Each variety is processed individually and the cut is made only a few days before bottling.
