Vinification
Certified organic by Ecocert since 2004, the estate has worked in accordance with organic
viticulture (A.B. label) since the 1980’s.
• No chemical fertilizers, synthetic products, or weed killers are used
• To keep soils alive, they use compost and surface plow their vines
• Only non-aggressive treatments are used in order to preserve indignous yeast populations on
grapes and other organisms
• Once the grapes have reached maturity, they are harvested exclusively by hand and put into
small containers to prevent any damage to the fruit before vinification.
• The bunches undergo a rigorous sorting process “because a clean harvest and an appropriate
maturity are essential in our quest for quality during the vinification”
• Only indigenous yeasts are used in fermentation
• The estate vinifies using the traditional “semi-carbonic” method, meaning the majority of
berries remain intact and are then saturated with CO2 inside of a closed vat. In this
atmosphere, the enzymatic activity manages to start the fermentation.
• Wines are bottled unfiltered
