WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Cuvée des Vignettes begins with a manual harvest of destemmed grapes, followed by direct pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks utilizing native yeasts. A defining characteristic is the wine's extended aging period of 12 to 18 months in 100-year-old foudres. This aging occurs under a 'fleurette,' a veil of yeast, which contributes to the wine's complexity and longevity. The estate employs certified organic farming practices.
