WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Morgon Terrain Rouge is produced using whole-bunch, semi-carbonic maceration at low temperatures for 12 days, with fermentation carried out by indigenous yeasts. No sulfites are added during this fermentation phase. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in large wooden casks called 'foudres'. The estate employs organic and agro-ecological farming methods, with the 2023 vintage being their first certified organic year. This approach emphasizes minimal intervention to highlight the purity of the Gamay grape and the unique 'Terrains Rouge' terroir.
