There is very little punching down; two pump-overs a day are preferred. After 12 to 15 days the wine is run off, followed by pressing. Het beste te drinken licht gekoeld, op 16 °C, jong voor zijn fruitigheid, of rijper, 4 tot 6 jaar oud, voor zijn complexiteit.| Volume | 37.5 cl. |
| Grape Variety | Pinot noir |
| Drinking window | 2025-2031 |
| Alc. | 13.0% |
| Vinification | The grapes are fully destemmed and then run by gravity into stainless steel tanks. There they stay for five days for a cold pre-fermentation maceration (12 °C). |
| Ripening | Fermentation happens naturally, with the yeasts present on the grapes and in the room where the vats stand. Alcoholic fermentation in vats and malolactic fermentation in barrels. |
