WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Crozes-Hermitage Terrasse Des Chassis begins with destemming the Syrah grapes. A cold maceration is employed before the must ferments for three to five weeks, with regular punch-downs of the cap to manage extraction. Post-fermentation, one-third of the wine is matured for a year in French oak barrels, contributing to its final profile. The wine is certified organic.
