\n <\/i> Each year, each harvest, we become beginners again, looking for the vines, the new grapes and the new wine! <\/i> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n

We are committed to being present from vine planting to bottling, in three main stages:<\/h2>\n \n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The vineyard<\/h2>\n

our grafts are carefully selected and planted.<\/strong> The young vines are then trellised with stakes and wire. Each winter, the vines are pruned by hand. In spring, buds and leaves appear and blossom,<\/strong> then the bunches grow and ripen until the harvest. From March to August, the whole team takes great care of its plots, pampering the soil, the leaves, the bunches… so that every year is a vintage!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Vinification<\/h2>\n

once the bunches have been picked by the grape-pickers, we keep them whole<\/strong> (no de-stemming) and fill the concrete vats, according to the tradition of our region. The first fermentation is carried out by yeasts, which transform sugar into alcohol, while the second is called \u00ab\u00a0malo-lactic\u00a0\u00bb and makes the wine silkier and rounder.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Ageing<\/h2>\n

the finished wine may be aged in barrels, tuns or vats for several months.<\/strong> Bottling changes the container, but the wine is still alive and, as with us, the passing years make it even better!<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

The estate lies at the foot of Mont Brouilly, which has been chosen as the emblem of the UNESCO Geopark label, awarded to our wine-growing region for the diversity of its soils and landscapes. So it’s only natural that we should promote what makes our region such an exceptional land! We distinguish five terroirs on the estate:<\/h2>\n \n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
