Details
| Vineyard | The Les Crays vineyard is found back in the village of Vergisson near that beautiful rock formation. Les Crays has a soil with a lot of calcareous clay and the vines are over 5o years old. There are 8000 vines per hectare, so there is a good planting density. Through a green harvest, if necessary, the yield is kept at about 45 hl/ha. Efforts are made to harvest at a potential alcohol content no higher than 13%. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | After harvest the grapes are pressed immediately and the débourbage takes about 24 hours. No yeasts are added for the alcoholic fermentation. This fermentation takes place for 60% in oak barrels. Weekly batonnage is used to obtain structure and complexity in the wine. If it is necessary to filter before bottling, this is done with bentonite. |
