Vinification
\nFor the making of our Grands Crus we use perfectly ripe and healthy grapes from carefully cultivated and selected vineyards.
\nThe yields are low and the vineyards are generally planted with old vines. For these wines we focus on terroir or vineyard expression with all elements that influence the aromas, the composition and typical character of each Grand Cru.<\/p>\n
Vintage 2017
\nEven if the yields are the lowest in 30 years, all the climatic conditions have contributed to an impressive quality for the 2017 vintage.
