Vinifikation The grapes were pressed as whole bunches with no skin contact. The juice was settled with some clarification into 30% new French oak barrels (Francois Frère, Dargaud & Jaegle) and 70% second and third fill barrels for alcoholic fermentation. Spontaneous onset of fermentation was allowed, and after 7 days, the barrels were inoculated with a pure culture yeast strain. Fermentation lasted about 15 days – after the sugar had fermented out, all 50 barrels were topped up. Only one-third of the barrels were allowed to complete malolactic fermentation to retain optimum acidity/freshness. The young wine was left on its fine lees for 8 months with regular bâtonnage.
