Eco-conscious enologists wife-and-husband Dupéré and Barrera adhere to organic methods and biodynamic practices. With them, the wines never see a pump and everything is done by hand, from harvest to bottling. Now owned and operated by Château du Seuil, standards are maintained high with their winemaking process allowing for natural character, with minimum doses of sulfur, no fining or filtration, and bottling during optimal weather conditions when the atmospheric pressure is just right.

The story

Vinification

Farmed organically but not certified. After sorting, destemming and crushing the fruit for his rosé is gently pressed and the juice sits in tank (at a low temperature) for 48 hours until the sediments settle before pumping the clear juice to another tank for a 10-12 day fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to retain freshness.
