Cane pruning "Guyot" done by hand for better aeration and sun exposition, vines trellised vertically on 4 wires, topping 3 to 4 times to prevent plant depletion, mechanical plowing and weeding (no synthetic product), organic manure, biodiversity by replanting trees and plants to complement and reenforce natural defenses (use of four leave clover), organic farming techniques. Mechanical harvest.
Mechanical harvest, grapes are destemmed then pressed as to extract the juice. The juice is placed in a thermo regulated Stainless steel tank at low temperature for hours, and then we clear the juice by settling; particles go down to the bottom of the tank where we filter them out. The alcoholic fermentation can start, the yeast eats all the sugar to create alcohol. All steps uses nitrogen in order to keep freshness and lower the amount of sulfites.

Blend of 2016, 2017 and 2018 vintage. 2016 had a rainy winter, some frost mid April followed by a fresh summer, a overall great vintage with easy harvest. 2017, dry winter (doesn't replenish the plant), warm spring with almost no frost, a rainy hot summer (conditions for diseases), early harvest because needed to prevent mold and rots, a complicated vintage for the yield, yet very good quality.
