WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Valerie Signature Côtes des Provence Blanc begins with a destemmed and cooled harvest, followed by pneumatic pressing at low pressure. Fermentation occurs in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats at 17°C for 15-20 days. The wine is then matured on fine lees before being filtered and bottled in February. This approach prioritizes preserving the purity and character of the grapes and terroir.
