LA PERRIÈRE

WORKING THE VINE

Since vintage 2016 we have chosen to convert our parcels of vines to organic agriculture and to work with conviction in biodynamic growing methods and plant-based treatments. The soils of all the parcels of the domain are worked sparingly so as to maintain their microbiological life systems. To improve the yield, once pruned our vines are de-budded and thinned early, by hand. We may choose a green harvest.



HARVEST METHOD

Harvested by hand and grapes are placed in small perforated boxes. This plot is always the last to be harvested. The harvest is sorted on a vibrating sorting table, and then by hand.


WINEMAKING PROCESS

We are as gentle as possible in order to retain the wine's initial flavours. The fermentation process begins using the naturally present yeast, following a pre-fe1mentation cold maceration process. Frequent pigeage according to the character of the vintage. This cuvee contains around 50% of whole bunches.


MATURATION

In oak barrels (30% new wood) for 16-18 months.


BOTTLING

We bottle our wines ourselves on the estate, with no fining or fiJn·ation, and according to the lunar calendar, producing wonderfully clear wines with the best possible flavours.
