WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Beauchêne Le Terroir is produced using a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The grapes are grown on vineyards with varying vine ages, including some from the early 20th century. Vinification occurs in a partially underground cellar designed to optimize technical conditions. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in barrels and demi-muids within the estate's vaulted cellar. The producer adheres to sustainable viticulture practices, focusing on preserving the local ecosystem and biodiversity.
