- Harvest Notes
-
Grapes are hand-harvested to the limit of over-maturity. Due to their age, these vines give low yields.
- Winemaking
-
Totally destemmed, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks. From one to two daily treadings ensure a good extraction. The temperature of fermentation does not exceed 32°C. Maceration lasts between 4 and 5 weeks, to obtain a polymerization of tannins. Only the free-run wine is used for this single vineyard.

- Ageing
-
The wine is matured in oak casks (with a 30% average proportion of new ones) between 18 and 20 months. The clarification is natural.

1996 Vintage: Rhone Learn more
Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Likely past it
The 1996 vintage for the Rhône Valley was mostly a hit but there were some misses depending on the appellation.
