Biodynamic wine - preparation,  Château de Lascaux, Languedoc AOC, Garrigue Plus Que Nature, red

The grapes come from several vineyards planted on limestone soils in the heart of the garrigue and surrounded by Aleppo pine and green oak.

Depending on the plot, the grapes are harvested manually or by machine and completely destemmed. The actual winemaking begins with a 3 to 4 day maceration of the lightly crushed grapes and a 14 day alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature. The aging of this biodynamic wine in concrete tanks takes 5 to 6 months.

This cuvée was made from harvest to bottling without the addition of sulphites.
