Additional Fermentation Notes

We always focus on the wine's overall ageing. A wine that has had a longer period after disgorgement is generally better than one that has been recently disgorged, especially since we use technical corks, which help limit oxidation and preserve freshness. Whenever possible, we disgorge wines in advance, even if another batch is still available, so that when an order arrives, the wine is ready to ship and ready to drink.
