Noble rot developed since mid-September and vine harvest of beautiful and very concentrated grapes occured between September 21st and October 5th. |
| Type of winemaking | The must ferments in French oak barrels for one or two months. In order to avoid using too much sulphur, fermentation is interrupted by cold stabilisation and filtering. The wine obtained conserves about 190g/l of residual sugar, balanced by a refreshing note of acidity. |
