Regisseur Pascal Lucin did a 36-day cuvaison in 2001, including five days of pre-fermentation cold maceration, using what he described as "micro-remontages" (pumping over for just two minutes at a time, twice a day) to avoid getting rustic tannins.

Vineyard manager and winemaker Pascal Lucin carried out a week-long cool soak of his fruit following the 2000 harvest (the yield was reportedly just 27 hectoliters per hectare), then did substantial additional maceration following the end of the fermentation. The wine, a blend of 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc, is aging in all new barrels.
