WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Un Jour Sur Terre Les Clos d'un Jour begins in vineyards where vines are hand-worked and no fertilizers are added, with green harvesting employed to manage yields. The grapes are sourced from vines approximately thirty years old, with yields kept low at around 20 hl/ha. Fermentation occurs in French oak barrels, followed by an aging process that spans up to two years in French oak. A distinctive element of the aging is the use of terracotta jars, which contributes to the wine's unique character and texture. This meticulous approach reflects the producer's philosophy of respecting the vine and sharing the resulting excellence.
