Elaboration at the domain

Separate vinification, with temperature monitoring, during the alcoholic fermentation for more complexity. Racking on fine lees and blending, before bottling for a second fermentation. After 12 months of ageing on laths, the bottles are stirred with rotopal. The next step is the disgorging and the final corking with a worm.

​

Tasting

Vin blanc fruité, et surtout floral. Bulles très fines avec une bonne rondeur et longueur.

 

Harvest

Manual harvesting with an elevator without a pump, with just an auger, which pours the grapes onto a belt to transport them to the pneumatic press. The duration of the pressing is 1h45.

Winemaking

The maturity of the grapes depends on the product that is to be made. For a white wine, the sugar level is a fundamental criterion. To produce a dry white wine, we harvest the fruit a little before the sugars are ripe. At this stage, the ratio between sugar and acid is optimal.
In the organic culture and production process, the must is of high quality, without synthetic chemicals harmful to the yeasts, and is kept in the wine. The turbidity of the must guarantees a good feeding of the yeasts and the vinification in vats does not require the addition of yeast. Fermentation starts spontaneously under the action of the natural yeasts of the grape and continues until the exhaustion of sugars.
