WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Laougué Les Passionnés is a red wine typically crafted from a blend dominated by Tannat, often including Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are grown in the Madiran appellation, benefiting from the Pyrenean foothills. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation and is then aged in French oak barrels for approximately one year. This aging process contributes to the wine's structure and texture.
