The fermentation takes place in a single concrete vat, in order to isolate the parcel and to express the unique characteristics of its terroir. The entire system is thermo-regulated. The wine is aged for mostly in demi-muids (95%) and in a new oak barrel for 16 month, and in concrete vats for 2 more months. Slight filtration and no fining. – Domaine Labruyère
