WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château La Sauvageonne Grand Vin Rouge is produced using meticulous winemaking techniques. Each grape variety and vineyard plot is vinified separately to capture individual nuances. Maceration typically lasts between 20 to 25 days, followed by aging in new 225-liter oak barrels for 12 to 16 months. Harvests are conducted by hand, with careful attention paid to grape ripeness. The estate is committed to organic and biodynamic farming practices.
