Grape Carignan Plantation 1892

The harvest is done in boxes, by hand on the whole field. Each parcel is vinified and aged separately until final assembly. The grapes are sorted first in the vineyard, then before and after destemming. The berries are pushed by gravity in the cement tanks, stainless steel and frustoconical wood manufactured by Marc Grenier in Courberon.

For vinification with whole grapes, we tread the grapes in the wooden vats.
Whites and rosés are vinified on whole juices.
The alcoholic fermentation is done with indigenous yeasts of the soil.
No sulfur is added before breeding. Some of our wines are sulphite-free (apart from sulphites produced by native yeasts).
