  These vats are used for the first stage of vinification. We have 2 vats of 208 hl, 1 of 200 hl as well as one of 155 hl representing a total capacity of 771 hectolitres.

• Fibreglass Vats

  These are used primarily for wines sold in bag-in-box format. The total volume of 240 hectolitres is divided into 2 vats of 50 hl, 4 of 30 hl and 1 of 20 hl.

• Prestige

  Reserved for the ageing of "vins de garde" resting in our barrels for 18 months after vinification and before bottling. We use oak wood chips, which are an alternative to barrels, allowing us to precisely manage the aging of our wine.
