WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Château d'Anglès Classique begins with hand-selected grapes harvested parcel by parcel, with harvest timing dictated by ripeness. The grapes undergo total destemming and are processed using gravity-fed vats. Fermentation follows traditional methods at controlled temperatures. A significant step is the long maceration period of 30 days, conducted without crushing to selectively extract desirable components. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels to develop complexity. The estate is committed to reasoned agriculture and is in the process of converting to organic and biodynamic farming practices.
