WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Didascalie Batard Langelier is produced using traditional methods. Fermentation occurs in underground cement tanks, utilizing indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging on its lees for a period to develop texture and complexity. The wine is then bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural character. The estate practices organic viticulture, avoiding herbicides and incorporating agroforestry. This approach emphasizes minimal intervention to allow the grape and terroir to express themselves.
