Vinification
The harvest dates for Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon were respectively August 25th - September 2nd and September 3rd - 7th in 2020. After manual harvesting, gentle pressing and fermentation in wooden barrels follow, with the aim of promoting good integration of the woody aromas. After vinification, the wine further matures in the cellars of the estate. It rests for 12 months in French oak, of which approximately 1/4 are new barrels and 3/4 are reused barrels. The wine remains in contact with the yeast cells and b§atonnage is carried out at the appropriate time.
