- vinification
-
60% Chardonnay - 40% Viognier. The bunches are harvested very early in the morning in order to keep the aromas of the fruit. Alcoholic fermentation for Chardonnay starts in vats after a cold settling of the juice, and gently ends in barrels. Malolactic fermentation is not processed for all the barrels. As regards Viognier, the cold-settled juice is transfered into barrels where alcoholic fermentation takes place. Malolactic fermentation starts in barrels before it is stopped early in winter
