Description
GENERAL INFORMATION
Grape: 100% Merlot
Soil types: The soils are mainly clay and silt. The vineyards are located on the plains in and around Vergèze. Vergèze protects the Perrier spring and the entire area is farmed organically.
Vineyard management: The vines are trained using the Cordon de Royat system. They are farmed organically and certified by Ecocert.
Winemaking: The grapes are entirely picked by machine. The fruit is destemmed before entering the tanks and fermentation then occurs for between 25 to 30 days at controlled temperatures. The wines are regularly and frequently pumped over. Native yeast is used, the wines are not fined and the amount of SO2 is limited. None of the inputs are animal-derived or tested on animals.
