How it is produced

The Aligoté grapes undergo a careful selection in the vineyard and in the cellar, ensuring only the best bunches reach the fermentation tank. This working approach focuses on the utmost precision to enhance the fruit’s intrinsic character. Aging in oak barrels for a period between fifteen and eighteen months consolidates the structure and perfects the tasting balance.
