WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Peyrassol Cuvée des Commandeurs Rouge 2022 is produced using traditional vinification methods in stainless steel vats with controlled temperature fermentation. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of aging on fine lees in stainless steel. The 2022 harvest benefited from timely rainfall in early September, following a hot and dry growing season, which aided optimal grape maturation. The estate practices organic farming, with the 2022 vintage being the first certified Organic Agriculture vintage.
