Harvest and Wine

The harvest normally begins mid September.
We take many samples of grapes and taste the berries from the end of August in order to know the evolution of the maturity and make the harvest at optimal maturity and with the desired balance.

 
We vinify in vats small volumes in order to separate the different terroirs

The white wine making process :

  • 100% destemming
  • Skin contact maceration
  • Pressing
  • Racking
  • Alcoholic fermentation

We begin the alcoholic fermentation relatively low temperature, then it rises naturally very slow during thefermentation.
Fermentation lasts between 25 and 30 days.

According to the terrois, the wine is made in vats or barrels.

The red wine making process :

  • 100% destemming
  • Vatting
  • Cooling to 10 ° C
  • Pre-fermentation maceration of 4 / 5 days
  • Alcoholic fermentation with temperature control
  • Hot post-fermentation maceration  with a very precise monitoring of the tasting
  • Racking

The tasting will allow us to refine the date of devatting.
The fermentation lasts between 25 and 32 days.
