Fabrice Masse produces elegant wines, with silky, fruity and delicious tannins.
WINERY NOTES - The cold pre-fermentation maceration lasts 5 to 6 days. The alcoholic fermentation lasts around fifteen days, with two pumping overs daily, without punching down to avoid extracting excessive tannins. The must is then gently pressed using a pneumatic press. Aging lasts between 10 and 12 months in barrels, with a maximum of 30% new barrels.
The vines are managed with respect for the environment, using sustainable management, so they remain grassed during the winter from the end of September to the end of March. There is no fertilizer added, Fabrice preferring to limit the vigor of the vines by “stressing” them. Pruning is short and disbudding is rigorous to naturally regulate yields. As for the soils, they are worked by scratching, surface plowing, several times a year.
