WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Belles Vignes GSM undergoes a traditional winemaking process. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and then destemmed. Maceration, involving contact between the grape skins and juice, lasts for three weeks and is conducted with selected yeasts under controlled temperatures. To preserve the wine's primary fruit character, it is not aged in oak barrels. The wine is produced and packaged in France.
