After pressing, the wine is cold transferred to barrels. Fermentation in French oak at 18 °C lasts one month. Subsequently, 30% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. Afterwards, all wine goes into wooden barrels for a 3-month with regular bonnages. This is followed by 1 month of rest on steel, followed by bottling.

About Dom. des Crès Ricards
Domaine des Crès Ricards is a relatively new domain in the 'world of wine'. The domain is 28 hectares and is located in the west 35 km from Montpellier in the heart of the Côte de Languedoc (Terrasses de Larzac). The vineyards are planted 60m above sea level. Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante, Marselan and Chardonnay were cultivated on these terraces with stony ground. This domain always works with low yields (+/- 40hl / ha).
