Winemaking

Each grape variety is vinified separately. Mille-feuille vinification with destemmed and unstemmed slices for Gamay and Pinot, and no destemming for Mondeuse. A pied de cuve from the same vines is added to the marc to kick-start alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation temperatures range from 20 to 27°C. Maceration times vary between 12 and 15 days, depending on grape variety, ripeness and health. Pressing without reboiling, and end of AF in alcoholic phase. Blending takes place after a week's rest. Then MLF begins spontaneously. The first bottling comes exclusively from the tank while for the spring and summer runs, around 1/3 of the blend is aged in barrel.

1/3 of the blend is barrel-aged
