Because none of the "modern" chemicals contribute to improving the quality of the wine, as you can see, smell and taste the clean characteristics of the Clos du Joncuas Seguret.

Organic wine - processing, Clos du Joncuas, Seguret

Dany Chastan, the charming daughter of the winemaker is responsible for winemaking in the cellar. It shapes the traditional style of wine, as it adapts to Region, Grape and soil. In early October, the grapes are harvested manually in optimum ripeness and fermented slowly, about 18 days in mash tubs. During this operation, floating on the wine grape skins are regularly mixed with the liquid, so that all ingredients be located in the shells dissolve and can pass into the must. During the subsequent 12-month aging in large oak barrels, the wine is filled three times from one another in a barrel, wherein the solids remain in each case on the barrel bottom. In this way, the organic wine without having to be filtered clears itself.

Seguret is seen from the viticultural view a small independent appellation, slightly higher classified in its hierarchy as a Côtes du Rhône Village. But Seguret is also a small picturesque village on the western side of the Dentelles de Montmirail, a rocky mountain range between the Rhône and the famous Mont Ventoux.
