WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy combines traditional methods with modern temperature control to preserve the fresh, vibrant fruit characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes are gently pressed immediately after harvest. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain aromatic purity. The wine is then aged on its fine lees in stainless steel for several months before bottling, enhancing its texture and complexity without the influence of oak.
