WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Château Bastor-Lamontagne Organic involves the careful selection of grapes affected by noble rot, a natural phenomenon crucial for creating sweet wines. Harvesting is done in multiple passes to ensure only the most botrytized grapes are picked. Fermentation is typically slow, often occurring in oak, and the wine undergoes extended aging in barrels and bottles to develop its complex character and potential for longevity.
