WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine La Croix St-Laurent Sancerre Rosé 2023 is produced using a direct-press method, where the grapes are pressed immediately after harvest to extract juice with minimal skin contact, resulting in a pale color and delicate fruit profile. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures for 10-15 days, preserving the wine's freshness. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees in stainless steel for four to five months. The estate employs sustainable and organic viticulture practices, holding HVE3 certification.
