WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Corty Artisan "Intro" Sancerre is crafted from 30-year-old Sauvignon Blanc vines across 4 hectares in Chavignol and Crezancy, benefiting from clay, fine Caillottes, and Kimmeridgian limestone terroirs. The estate is certified HEV 3 (High Environmental Value), practicing sustainable agriculture. Vinification involves pneumatic pressing and spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts. The wine ages on lees in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a winemaking philosophy that emphasizes minimal intervention and profound respect for nature, including fermentation guided by lunar cycles for the Sancerre. This approach ensures the wine's authentic expression of its terroir.
