WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Hommage à Robert begins with hand-harvested Merlot and Gamay grapes. Spontaneous semi-carbonic fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place over two weeks, followed by a 13-day maceration in whole bunches before pressing. The wine is then fermented and aged in stainless steel vats. Key to its production is the commitment to natural winemaking, with no added sulfur, filtration, or fining.
