WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Mons La Graveyre employs a low-intervention winemaking approach. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. Vinification involves minimal to no added sulfites. The wine undergoes aging for 15 to 18 months, utilizing a mix of one-year-old oak barrels and clay amphoras to maintain fruit freshness. Light filtration is performed only if necessary before bottling.
