They were helped by Jean Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud in deciding to purchase the vineyard. To produce the wine of Chateau Fleur Cardinale, it is a very labor intensive process. For the vinification, the juice undergoes a cold maceration at 5 degrees Celsius for 5 or 6 days. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation and a warm maceration for 2 to 3 weeks. All the pumping over is done by gravity, which avoids stirring the musts.

There is a second wine which made its debut with the 2018 vintage, Intuition. On average, the production of Chateau Fleur Cardinale is close to 10,000 cases of wine per vintage.
