WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine Des Pasquiers Plan De Dieu 2022 involves the separate vinification of its Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault grape varieties. Fermentation occurs in concrete tanks with maceration lasting between 20 to 25 days, or up to 30 days for specific cuvées, at temperatures around 25°C. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 12 months, with some portions maturing in concrete tanks and others in Bordeaux barrels. The grapes are organically grown, harvested with sorting at the vine, and fully destemmed prior to fermentation.
