WINE MAKING PROCESS
Les Brétesches Blanc is produced using grapes that undergo destemming and soft crushing before being processed under a non-oxidative atmosphere. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of around 16-17°C. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and aromatic complexity. The grapes are harvested manually, reflecting a commitment to careful vineyard management.
