WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Corty Artisan "Intro" Pouilly-Fumé are sourced from three distinct terroirs near Loges, characterized by limestone pebbles, silex, and marl. The estate is certified HEV 3 (High Environmental Value), reflecting a strong commitment to sustainable agriculture. In the cellar, the wine undergoes vinification with natural yeasts in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks. It is then aged on its fine lees until bottling, a process designed to enhance texture and complexity while preserving the wine's inherent freshness and aromatic purity. The overall approach is guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing the terroir and grape to shine through.
