| Vinification | Gentle pressing produces a must that is fermented at low temperatures 16 to 18°C (61 to 64°F) in closed tanks. This is in order to make the most of the complex aromas of the Marsanne and Roussanne varieties. |
| Maturing | After malolactic fermentation the wine is racked and then matures on its fine lees in order to improve richness and structure while keeping its exceptional varietal aromas. Bottling takes place around mid-April. |
