Vinification
In keeping with its Vin de France classification, the winemaking here is more experimental and instinctive. Fermentation is spontaneous using native yeasts, and the use of whole bunches may vary depending on vintage and desired style. Fermentation typically takes place in concrete or stainless steel vats to preserve purity and freshness. A short to moderate maceration allows for bright fruit extraction without excessive tannin. The wine is aged in neutral containers—such as large oak foudres or concrete-to maintain a fresh, unmasked fruit character. Bottled without fining or filtration, this wine emphasizes a raw, unpolished authenticity true to the domaine's natural style.
