Work in the vine

• Fertilization : only organic products, no synthetic products
• Ploughing of the soils, no weedkillers using
• We let the grass grow in the vine’s row to have competition between Bunches of grapes and grass. It gives more concentrated wine
• Pruning : Guyot pulsard
• Integrated and substainable culture for high quality bunches of grapes

Wine making process

• Harvesting of the grapes in the earliest hours of the day
• Bunches of grapes are sorted out, we put them in vat at low temperature (6°C) during 5 days
• Then alcoholic fermentation with pumping over, it will give a fine wine, concentrated, powerful of redberries aromas
• Malo-lactic fermentation is made only in oak barrel. Oak barrel comes from burgundy. We mature it during 18-24 monthes in oak barrel
• To finish, Sancerre rouge is just settled and bottling by gravity to preserve it

• Color : A deep ruby red colour, very clear
• Nose : Pure and clean. Small red berries aromas and woody, toasted notes are revealed.
