THE VINIFICATION PROCESS
After being sorted, the berries are poured into thermoregulated concrete vats. No sulphite has been added to our wine since 2019. Alcoholic fermentation will occur in the vats for 20 to 29 days, at 27-28 °C. Next, following the malolactic fermentation, the free-run wine is transferred to barrels, where it is matured for 12 months, during which time regular tastings ensure optimal monitoring.
The French oak barrels are renewed up to 40% every year.
Rigorous quality control is carried out on each barrel every month, notably via microbiological analyses by the Œnoteam laboratory.
OUR DIFFERENT VINTAGES
