Domaine Laffitte - Dessert Wine

Grapes are harvested at night. This late ripening and low yield grape variety is usually harvested in early November and has an exceptional sugar concentration. Grapes are directly pressed and undergo a twenty days cold maceration period to extract the primary flavours. At 20°, the alcoholic fermentation takes place and is stopped by bringing the vat temperature down when the balance between sugar and alcohol is reached. Eventually, they age on lees for a minimum of three months.
