WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine de Trévallon Rouge is produced using whole cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without destemming or added yeast. Maceration lasts for approximately three weeks. The wine is then aged for 24 months in foudres and barrels, with minimal racking. Fining is done with fresh egg white, and the wine is bottled unfiltered. Organic farming practices have been employed since the estate's founding.
