Description

”VITICULTURAL TECHNIQUES The Pruning favours a good airflow through the fruiting zone, a disbudding, an increase of leaf surface, a thinning out of leaves. Just before the harvest, we control the ripeness in the plots once or two times per week but also a blind tasting of the berries. Manual harvest and sorting combined with the new techniques of de-stemming. The harvest lasts from the 3rd of October to the 15th of October.WINE MAKING Cold maceration. Only rack and returns by gravity. Time in tanks4 to 6 weeks.AGEING 10% of new barrels Racking according to the tasting Time of ageing12 months to 14 months” – Chateau Lilian Ladouys
