The vineyard is followed very attentively, a stripping side raising as of the nouaison and of the very serious green grape harvest are carried out. Approximately mid-August, a stripping setting side to homogenize maturation. The dates of the grape harvest are not fixed which complete maturation of the grape has, fruit being the paramount element in making of a high-class wine. The grape harvest is carried out manually. The wine making begin with cold pre-fermentations over approximately 10 days, the temperatures are maintained between 26° and 31°. The cuvaison is spread out over 30 to 35 days, one or two unballastings are practised during the wine making.
