WINE MAKING PROCESS
Gérard Bertrand Chateau La Sauvageonne La Villa 2021 is produced using a blend of Grenache, Vermentino, Viognier, and Mourvèdre. A notable technique involves the co-fermentation of Grenache with Vermentino and Viognier. The wine may undergo several months of oak aging, contributing to its structure. The estate practices sustainable and biodynamic farming. The vineyard's high altitude and significant diurnal temperature variations are considered crucial for the slow and progressive maturation of the grapes.
