Terroir & vinification

The vines are grown on soils composed of clay and limestone, mixed with the tawny-coloured sand typical of the Gascogne region. A twelve-hour cold maceration is done to extract the aromatic precursors". Fermentation occurs at 15°C with specific yeasts. Fine lees are reintroduced after the fermentation process to enhance flavours and refine texture."
