WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Domaine Roger Lassarat begins with hand-harvested grapes, which are then processed using gravity to preserve their integrity. Fermentation takes place without filtration. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in barrels, with regular bâtonnage (stirring of the lees) to enhance texture and complexity. The estate employs organic viticultural practices and avoids chemical treatments in the vineyard.
