Vinification and maturing
The grapes were hand-picked and sorted manually as soon as they arrived at the winery. They were then pressed in a pneumatic press which allows for perfect extraction of the juices without over pressing the grapes. Vinification and ageing took place in wooden barrels with a proportion of 20% new oak. The wine was aged on the lees for 10 months with occasional stirring.
Food and wine pairing
To be tasted with poultry in sauce, lobster, crayfish, asian dishes and cheeses like Comté.
