WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Jean Collet & Fils employs spontaneous alcoholic fermentation, allowing indigenous yeasts to contribute to the wine's character. Aging is conducted 'sur lie' in stainless steel tanks, with some cuvées potentially seeing time in demi-muids for nuanced development. The domaine practices sustainable and organic viticulture, with a focus on soil health and controlled yields. Harvests are managed to ensure grape quality and balance.
