The grapes were hand-harvested in crates during the first ten days of September. The harvest was then brought to the cellar, where destemming and subsequent gentle pressing took place. The resulting must was left to settle at a temperature of 12°C for 24 hours, followed by racking to remove the coarse lees. Next, the must was inoculated with a pied de cuve prepared from the same grapes, which had been harvested 10 days prior to the official harvest of that specific variety. The must then began fermentation at a controlled temperature of 15°C. The resulting wine was aged in stainless steel tanks for 7 months, followed by 1 month of bottle-aging before being released to the market.
