This process allows for a gentle extraction of tannins and aromas. The wine is then aged for 36 months in oak barrels, some of which are new. This aging period allows the wine to develop structure, refine its complexity, and cultivate spicy and woody notes. Each step, from harvest to bottling, is carried out with particular attention, true to the tradition of... domaine.
