Winery's Notes: The grapes are harvested and vinified parcel by parcel as Daney makes numerous passes through the vineyards to select grapes depending on ripeness and the development of botrytis. It is important to note that Daney sells a significant portion of his production in bulk to ngociants, so that all of the wine he bottles at the domaine truly represents the best of the domaines production. After fermentation is complete, the wines spend a minimum of two years aging in barrel, a very small percentage of which are new. After fining and filtering, the wines are bottled at the domaine. Our long history with the Daney family (we have been purchasing these wines since 1983) lends credence to our claim that these wines age in formidable fashion. Our private cellar is blessed with wines from the 1983 and 1990 vintages, among others, which are fine performers at the table today.
