The art of winemaking

Soft and ancestral methods

• Natural fermentations in little stainless steel tank.
• Individual winemaking of the different grape varieties and terroir.

The pigeage and the manual pressing
The manual pigeage :
During the fermentation, the grapes skins come up to the wine. The pigeage consists to sink skinswith the help of a circular fork in order to favour the diffusion of the colour and the aromas between the skins and the wine.

The manual pressurage :

No doubt the most qualifying wine press !

After two or three weeks of maceration, the skins
are pressed with the help of this wine press.

The pressing is soft. The wine, filtered through the skins, is clear, supple and very aromatic.

	Concentrated wines and supple in mouth
	These artisanal methods permit to elaborate aromatic wines, supple and round in mouth since the spring following the vintage.
	Wines for the pleasure of fruit !
	Ageing on fine lees and racking in open air in winter Bottling with a light filtration in spring.
	And the SO2 ?
	We minimize the using of sulphur dioxide (preservative). We guarantee you that our wine contain less than 80 mg/L of this preservative that means the half of the legal authorized dose.
