WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Cuvée LE C DE CONSTANCE ROUGE 2023 involves traditional viticulture and meticulous winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a double sorting process, first in the vineyard and then at the winery, to ensure optimal quality. Vinification follows traditional methods. The wine is then aged for 16 months in concrete tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the purity of the fruit and the wine's freshness. This process aims to create a wine that reflects the character of its Roussillon terroir.
