Wine making process

A historical Armagnac terroir, the Côtes de Gascogne vineyard
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 at 16°C.
Partly vinified in bio-protection in ovoid tanks,
allowing a controlled micro oxygenation and breeding
on lees more intense and more qualitative.
