WINE-MAKING/MATURING

The principal characteristics of this wine are its richness and concentration.
A blend of 60% Loin de l’oeil and 40% Sauvignon Blanc from plots of
vines aged about 40 years, low yield and the full maturity of the fruit give
this wine its richness.
The quality of this frit is preserved by cold skin contact and slow
fermentation at a low temperature of 16-18°C in 400-litre oak barrels.
The wine is aged for 6 months with lees stirring, bringing complexity and
body to the wine.
