pressing and clarification to separate the clear juices from the heavier matter prior to fermentation so that the wine gains in finesse. Fermentation, which we regulate at between 16 and 18°C in order to preserve the fruity flavours, lasts approximately one month, when all of the sugars have turned to alcohol and the result is a "dry white Bordeaux". After drawing off and racking, which take place over a 6 to 8 month period, the wine is bottled and ready for sale.
