The Château de Cayx comes from a plot selection of 7 hectares. The average age of the vines is 35 years old. After a harvest in green, the vine is stripped manually. The harvest is mechanical, with an onboard sorting system and a second manual sorting on the table at the winery. A cold pre-fermentation maceration followed at 8 ° C for 3 days, followed by vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Subsequently, alcoholic fermentation and maceration were carried out for 28 days at 26/28 ° C, followed by a final maceration at 32/35 ° C. After the malolactic fermentation, Château de Cayx is aged in new barrels for 1/3 for a minimum of 12 months.
