WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône is produced using traditional winemaking techniques. The grapes are fermented in vats, a process chosen to maintain the freshness and fruit-forward character of the blend. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an aging period of 10 to 12 months, also exclusively in vats. This oak-free aging allows the wine to develop its natural fruit flavors and smooth tannins without the influence of wood. The wine is then bottled, ready for release. The producer, Alain Jaume / Domaine Grand Veneur, adheres to certified organic farming practices in their vineyards.
