This allows an aromatic extraction, essential to the wines of the Domaine. After this week, the fermentation starts naturally in a few days, without the addition of yeast. Fermentation then takes place for about ten days, concluded if necessary with a light chaptalization, divided in two or three days depending on the vintage. During the vatting period, pumping over is carried out, as well as some punching down. Pressing is then carried out using a small vertical press. The free-run wine and the press wine are then blended and left in vats for a settling that will last nearly 10 days, in order to barrel the clearest wines possible, the ageing being done without racking. Once the wines have been clarified, they are barrelled by gravity into the cellar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e All wines age in new barrels from three barrel-makers and three different forests.
