Under a new legislation most of their vineyards will become “Grand Cru”. The wine is vinified at 21° in underground glass lined vats. There is no malolactic fermentation, and the wine rests on its lees throughout the winter. The wine is not fined and just receives a light filtration prior to bottling.
