Wine making process

The historic terroir of Armagnac, the Côtes de Gascogne vineyards extends over 20,000 hectares in the south of the Landes at the bottom of the Pyrenees. Its sunny slopes, cool nights and clayey-silt soils naturally make it the best white soil in the South of France. The grapes, harvested at night, are protected by organic yeasts instead of sulphates in order to avoid the development of undesirable micro-organisms.
The grapes are then placed in an Inertys nitrogen press to prevent any oxidation. After cold stalling and settling, the juices ferment slowly in vats controlled in temperature 60,8 F.
