Vinification
The harvest is handpicked into shallow boxes, followed immediately by a soft pressing of whole grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, which are processed separately. Pinot Noir and Meunier after fermentation are aged in steel tanks, while the Chardonnay is fermented and aged in oak barrels for 8 months. There is a separation from the yeast and the preparation of the cuvee. The following spring, the wine is bottled with the addition of selected yeasts. After staying on the lees for 11 years, bottles are riddled and disgorged without the addition of the liqueur d’expedition.
