WINE PRODUCTION

Vinification
 

The philosophy of wine making consists of allowing the wine to develop as naturally as possible, by integrating the characteristics of the soil and the climatic conditions of any particular year.

The cellars benefit from the use of modern equipment and mechanism guaranteeing impeccable hygiene. Vinification takes place in either stainless steel vats or in oak casks. In either case it involves developing each wine to the maximum of its potential, and enabling it to express the individuality of the particular grape as well as its production area.

The technology used enables the intrinsic qualities of the grapes researched by the team responsible for the vineyards to be preserved.

In order to guarantee storage, the youth and the fruitiness of our wines, all our white wines are fermented on lees. We use the ancient method of “bâtonnage” which consists of regularly “re-raising” the lees in order to prevent too rapid an evolution of the wine and encourage the characteristic aromas of the various grape types to reveal themselves.
