WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Château Fon du Berger involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 6-10 days at controlled temperatures, followed by a maceration period of 3-4 weeks for color and tannin extraction. The wine then undergoes aging for 16 months in French oak barrels, with varying percentages of new wood. Harvest typically takes place in late September to early October.
