| In practically
the "crianza" (ageing) of all wines is carried out on natural and healthy
fine lees ("sur lie"), which is carefully raised at regular intervals
during a period of time that spans between two and six months ("bâtonnage").
This careful "crianza", which is very expensive and labour intensive,
is carried out using stainless steel containers and French oak barrels
from different origins (Allier, Nevers, Troncais). The result are well
balanced wines with mature tannins, mild and with healthy acidity. Furthermore,
they stand out for their fruitiness, natural earthy aromas and a typical
character of the variety: created by the special microclimate and the
perfect balance between vines and soil. |
