Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise temperature control and the extraction of the Cabernet Franc's finest aromatic expressions. Aging on fine lees for several months adds complexity and roundness to the wine. Each step is carefully considered to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the aromas, resulting in a wine that is both approachable and full of character.
