Vine-growing: In compliance with HEV specifications, trellised vines, light ploughing of the land and mechanical hoeing. Natural weeding; no pesticides or herbicides. 2-eye pruning for a yield limited to around 40 hL/ha (50 hL authorised); careful disbudding and mechanical harvesting.

Vinification: Harvested at full maturity in mid-October, following a careful selection of parcels,, following a careful selection of parcels, de-stemmed; lightly crushed; long vatting period of 30 to 35 days with temperature control at 25-28°C. For optimum extraction of aromas, we use a pigeur, which gently mixes the fine lees and amplifies all the aromas present in the must (1st juice). The must is devatted by hand and then sent to a pneumatic press to extract the final nectar. Part of the blend is matured in French oak barrels for around 1 year and another part in terracotta amphorae for another 1 year.
