The whole bunches are covered to ferment them by performing a carbonic maceration, and the final wine is aged for 6 to 9 months in used oak barrels to avoid removing personality from the wine. No oenological products are added nor is the wine chaptalised, i.e. sugars are not added to ferment it and increase the alcoholic strength. Foillard Morgon always uses as little sulphite as possible, and bottling is carried out without clarifying or filtering.
