WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château La Grave à Pomerol employs a winemaking process focused on quality and vineyard expression. Grapes are harvested manually and undergo double sorting. Fermentation occurs in thermo-regulated concrete and stainless-steel vats with gentle maceration and extraction. The wine is subsequently aged for 16-18 months in French oak barrels, with a portion of new oak contributing to its development. Farming practices follow 'culture raisonnée', a form of sustainable agriculture.
