| Description: | Case Price = $27.97 per bottle (add 12+ quantity to your basket). Notes from the Winemaker:. Harvesting :. Since the 2002 vintage, the new harvest reception system permits to select berries with high precision. After a careful manipulation with a first sorting on the vines, the bunches were collected whole in small 20 kg crates and a 2nd selection of the bunches on a first vibrating sorting table at the entrance of the cellar enabled any unwanted vegetation, such as berries affected by millerandage, pieces of branches or leaves in the bunches to be discarded. The de-stemming is done mechanically, after a final manual sorting of the berries was carried out on a second vibrating sorting table (longer than the 1st ) so as to ensure that only the best grapes went into the vat. With the berries being spread out, this 3 rd sorting made it possible to remove any pink-coloured or damaged berries. The grapes fall into small stainless steel troughs (3Hl), which are raised by fork lift trucks to be emptied by gravity into wooden vats, thus avoiding any pumping of the grapes. Vinification :. Fermentation (8 days) and 10 to 15 days maceration in temperature-controlled wooden and double skins stainless steal vats with two daily pump-overs of half or whole the volume of the vats and one punching down of the cap of skins. Malo-latic fermentation (from 7 to 18 days) in stainless steal vats and barrels. Ageing :. In oak barrels, of which 50%to 70% are brand new, racking every three months, fining with fresh egg whites and no filtering. Production : Clos Canon (second label) : From 20 to 30 000 bottles.
