Vinification and maturing
Traditional vinification is then carried out in temperature-controlled concrete vats with daily stirring and pumping-over. Alternating those two methods is a good way to obtain balanced wines because the tannins are not too much extracted.
Then, the wine is put for 9 months aging in oak barrels in a large majority (75%) with around 20% new oak.
Vintage : 2022
Uncertain weather conditions all the year long, but mild in the end throughout the season!
The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.
Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.
A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.
The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
