VINIFICATION + AGEING
Grapes were hand picked and sorted from various sustainably managed old vines parcels around Côte d’Or between September 20th and 25th. They were fully destemmed and very lightly crushed. Fermentation started spontaneously in stainless steel tanks and wine was later pressed and transferred to a combination of seasoned oak casks and barrels (no new oak) for malolactic fermentation and ageing. The wine was lightly filtered and bottled without prior fining from November 5th to 7th 2015.
