Cold prefermentary maceration in the press for about 4 hours, then slow fermentation at low temperature (about 12/14 ° C) with stirring of the fine lees during the first 4 months. Part of the cuvée was aged for about 5 months in Laurus oak barrels of 275 liters (1 wine barrels - oak from the Bertranges forest in Burgundy).
