Der gesamte Cabernet Sauvignon reifte in erstbelegten Fässern aus französischer Eiche (Neuholz), während die anderen Sorten separat in zweit- sowie drittbefüllten französischen Barriques reifen durften. Alle Weine verbrachten eine Gesamtzeit von 12- 14 Monaten in Barriques, 2500L foudres und 600L demi-muids bevor sie verschnitten wurden und der Blend leicht verfeinert und filtriert zum Genuss auf die Flasche gefüllt wurde.
