WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2022 Le Bordeaux Du Paysan Rouge is crafted using natural winemaking techniques. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, with a maceration period of 15 days. A significant aspect of its production is the complete absence of added sulfur, aligning with a natural wine philosophy. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a 6-month aging period in stainless steel vats to maintain its fresh fruit profile. The grapes are sourced from organically certified vineyards in the Entre-deux-Mers region, with the 2022 harvest being done by hand. This approach emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the pure expression of the Merlot grape and the terroir.
