WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine Garon's Côte-Rôtie Lancement 2021 involves traditional techniques with a focus on precision. Grapes undergo partial destemming before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, utilizing gentle extraction methods.

Sustainable viticultural practices and manual vineyard work are integral to the estate's approach.
