WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Marius Rosé begins with the harvest of ripe grapes, often conducted at night to maintain freshness. The grapes undergo direct pressing, followed by cold static settling to clarify the juice. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at low temperatures, around 16°C, for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees for 3 to 4 months in stainless steel or concrete vats. M. Chapoutier's broader philosophy emphasizes respect for nature and the soil.
