- The Domaine de la Bouronière estate has belonged to the Beaujolais ‘ripeness network’ since 1992.

- Since 2001, grassing between the rows in the plots where it is possible.

- Since 2002, sub-soiling in some plots.

- Vatting in whole bunches for semi-carbonic maceration.

- Temperature regulated vinification at between 25 and 32°C for around twelve days.

- Pneumatic pressing followed by cooling to 18°C to extract the maximum possible aromas.
