WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Domaine Mérieau is characterized by a commitment to minimal intervention. Grapes are manually harvested, and fermentation is conducted using indigenous yeasts. The producer employs gentle extraction methods to preserve the wine's character. For wines intended for aging, oak barrels are used to develop complexity. The estate's vineyards are managed under certified organic practices, with meticulous soil work and yield control through severe pruning.
