The estate undertakesdisease and pest control measures by maintaining natural balance ("lutte raisonnée") and works the soilin a traditional way. Individual parcels are vinified separately. The grapes are gently pressedpneumatically. Prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the must is naturally clarified by coldstabilisation and some of the grapes are macerated on the skins for a short period to maximise flavourcomplexity. Either wild or selected yeasts are used, depending on conditions - indigenous yeasts arebelieved to add more character. The fermentation is cool and slow over 3 weeks and the wine remainson the fine lees. The gravity fed cellar is on two levels and all temperature controlled.
