WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château de Lavernette employs organic and biodynamic farming practices in its vineyards. Vineyard work is largely manual, including pruning, leaf thinning, green harvesting, and hand-picking grapes at full ripeness. The winemaking process aims to preserve fruit freshness and express the terroir, often utilizing fermentation techniques that maintain delicate aromatics. Aging is typically conducted in a manner that emphasizes the wine's natural character and minerality, avoiding heavy oak influence. Whole cluster pressing may be used for some cuvées.
