WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Le Sablou Bergerac involves the separate vinification of its constituent grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, a process that allows for careful management of temperature and the preservation of fresh fruit aromas. Following fermentation, the wine continues its maturation period in stainless steel tanks. This method of aging is chosen to emphasize the purity of the grape varietals and the wine's fruit-forward character, rather than introducing oak influences. The grapes are sourced from vineyards with clay and limestone soils and are hand-harvested.
