Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this Chardonnay were harvested by hand, after which they were cooled down to 1 degree Celsius in the cellar before being pressed all over the bunch. After fermentation, the wine was kept for 12-14 months in barrels (50%), individually tailored by the Frenchman Bruno Lorenzon, and unfired to bring extreme purity and firmness to the palate. The remaining part of the wine matured in barrels made by Stephane Chassin, which in turn provide a flint minerality and a salty contribution to the wine. The barrel ageing process was carried out with minimal intervention and without batonnage, so as not to drown out the delicate and delicate characteristics of the wine. The wine spent a total period of 14 months in the barrel.
