WINE MAKING PROCESS
La Cuisine De Ma Mère is produced using 100% Cabernet Franc from young vines grown in clay and sandy soils. The grapes are destemmed and undergo a short, five-day skin maceration before fermenting in concrete tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for eight months in concrete vats, with no oak used. This approach, combined with organic and biodynamic farming, aims to capture the pure essence of the grape and its terroir, resulting in a natural wine classified as 'vin méthode nature'.
