Vatting for about 21 days in open vats to allow Pigeage (operation which consists of pushing the solids of the grapes back to the surface in the fermentation juice for better extraction of tannins and anthocyanins). Entonnage by gravity in oak barrels. Aging in oak barrels for 12 to 16 months depending on the appellations with a maximum of 20% new barrels to keep the expression of each terroir.
