WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking at Puech Noble emphasizes minimal intervention, a philosophy carried over from Domaine Rostaing's Northern Rhône estates. Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure quality. Fermentation is conducted using indigenous yeasts, allowing the natural microflora to contribute to the wine's character. The wine is then aged in a mix of 225-liter and 500-liter barrels, with only a small proportion being new oak. This approach aims to preserve the unique expression of the Puech Noble terroir.
