Winemaking Notes Our Estate program follows traditional French winemaking practices.

The 2003 vintage aged for 21 months in 45% new Troncais, Nevers and Alliers oak (thin-staved, medium & medium-plus toast Chateau Ferre barrels. Tonnelleries: Seguin Moreau, Radoux, Demptos and Sylvain and Doreau. Barrels were topped monthly and racked every 6 months.
