Tasting Notes

Maturation

I choose to age my Vigne de lAstre for 26 months on its winemaking lies. The minimum required by the appellation is 24 months. No interventions till the bottling, however, a close follow-up is required with regular tasting to make sure the quality last.

Vinification

Harvested at the best maturity, by hand, with a very small yield of 23hl/ha. The yield allowed for the production of this appellation is 45hl/ha (same as a grand cru from burgundy). After picking, the grapes are directly pressed and the juice fall by gravity in our subterranean tanks. No sulfites will be added under the press to make sure the wild yeast is not killed. The ambient yeast of the terroir will process the fermentation in a used and large oak barrel (600 liters) for 3 weeks. A hint of sulfite will be added at the end of the winemaking process to avoid any malo lactic fermentation happen.
