WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Gounel-Lassalle Terre D’Ancêtres involves traditional winemaking techniques. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel, followed by a full malolactic fermentation to enhance roundness. The wine then undergoes extended aging on its lees for three to five years, contributing to its complexity. The estate also utilizes lighter glass bottles for its packaging.
