Fermentation:

First a careful selection of the grapes was made by hand.

Then they were put gently into stainless steel tanks, where they first underwent a cold maceration at between 6°C and 8°C.

Next came the fermentation at temperatures of between 22°C and 26°C, with two to three pump-overs every day.

This resulted 1 Virey in a wine with a smooth-tannined texture.

Ageing:

100% of the wine was aged for 12 months in medium-toast, fine-grain French oak (80%) and American oak (20%), to preserve the balance of black fruit and the character of the Carménére.
