WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Grosbois employs a hands-off approach to winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a short, 5-day maceration with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for eight months in concrete, with no oak used. This process is designed to preserve the wine's natural freshness and fruit purity, reflecting the estate's commitment to organic and biodynamic practices.
