VINIFICATION

 

All of our cellars are equipped with stainless steel tanks; in the winemaking area they have tilted bottoms, while in the area used for stocking whites and rosés before bottling have flat bottoms.

Advantages of this material:
-
Perfect hygiene
-
Easy cooling of the harvest (with three systems by insertion of refrigerated " cooling apparatus ", by water trickle or by passage in a cooling tank).

White and rosé wines : after a light pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, at a low and constant temperature.

Red wines : De-stemming is usual but not systematic.
Maceration and fermentation take always place in stainless steel tanks but aging is made in oak " foudres " (traditional provençal wood tanks).
