Vinification process

Destemmed grapes are fermented in small concrete tanks for 6 weeks before being pressed. Grenache and Cinsault are blended and then aged for 12 months in a foeder. Monrvèdre is kept in a tank on fine lees before the final blend is made. After a light filtration, the wine is bottled according to the moon phases to preserve its aging potential, with a minimum of added sulfur.
