WINE MAKING PROCESS
Les Hauts de Castelmaure 2019 is produced using traditional Languedoc grape varieties. The winemaking process likely involves careful grape selection, with an emphasis on hand-harvesting by the Castelmaure cooperative. Fermentation is typically carried out to capture the fruit-forward characteristics of the grapes. Aging may involve stainless steel tanks or potentially oak barrels, depending on the desired style, contributing to the wine's structure and complexity. Jeanjean's commitment to organic viticulture is a core aspect of their production philosophy.
