Handpicked harvest, sorting of the healthy and well-ripened grapes.  Total de-stemming.  Cold maceration before fermentation.  Alcoholic fermentation at 35°C.  Maceration after fermentation at 30°C.  Malolactic fermentation in barrels.  Cap punching three times a day, pumping over and release techniques allow for the good extraction of the aromas and the tannins.  Placed in barrels before malolactic fermentation, this wine blends gradually with the oak producing pleasant melted aromas.

18 months in fine oak from Allier and Nevers.  Barrels 50% new with oxygen added every 4 months.  Among all our northern Côtes du Rhône wines, this selection is produced from our most southern vineyard. It completes our range and offers a style that is very different and interesting.

The wines produced from the warm granite slopes of the Cornas appellation are well-structured with good aging potential.
