WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Trapet employs biodynamic viticulture, with fermentation typically initiated by indigenous yeasts. Partial whole-cluster fermentation is utilized, with proportions varying by cuvée. Extraction is managed through gentle techniques like pumping over and punch-downs. The wine undergoes approximately 16 months of aging in oak barrels, with a moderate percentage of new oak. Minimal sulfur is added, often only at bottling. The estate also utilizes gravity for wine transfers and maintains some vineyards with the traditional 'échalas' training system.
