WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are grown biodynamically (Demeter certified) on the sandy-silt soils of the Clos des Capucins. Harvested entirely by hand at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo gentle whole-cluster pressing. Fermentation occurs spontaneously using indigenous yeasts in large, old oak casks (foudres). The wine is aged on its fine lees to add texture and complexity before bottling, preserving the natural acidity and terroir expression.
