The wine initially remains for 12 months in large old wooden vats in which it undergoes malolactic fermentation and stabilizes before being racked for subsequent aging in wood. It matures between 72 and 84 months in used 225-liter American oak barrels. Subjected to various manual rackings each year with the aim of not having to filter the wine before bottling. Traditional clarification with fresh egg whites. A minimum of 5 years of aging in the bottle in the cellars of the winery before being marketed."
