WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Plan de Dieu begins with destemming the grapes, followed by a significant maceration period of 20 to 25 days in concrete tanks. Each grape variety is vinified separately to preserve its individual characteristics. The concrete tanks are used for fermentation, allowing for controlled temperature and a focus on fruit purity. The estate has been fully certified organic since 2010, reflecting a sustainable approach to viticulture. Low yields are maintained to ensure the concentration and quality of the final wine.
