WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Cuvée Réserve by Chavin involves careful selection of grapes from the Côtes de Gascogne. Key winemaking techniques focus on preserving freshness and fruit character. Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel tanks under controlled, cool temperatures to maintain the aromatic intensity of the Sauvignon Blanc, Colombard, and Gros Manseng.

This approach highlights the varietal characteristics and the regional expression, resulting in a wine designed for immediate enjoyment.
