Organic wine - processing, Château La Canorgue,  IGP de la Mediterranée, red, Cuvée Prestige

The grapes are traditionally picked by hand. A part is separated from the panicles and fermented spontaneously together with the larger part of the grapes with panicles by means of the so-called semi-carbonique maceration, i.e. with the whole, undamaged berries still on the panicles. Spontaneous fermentation means that no foreign yeasts are added to the grapes, but that fermentation is fermented with the yeasts on the grapes. However, this assumes that the grapes have not been treated with fungicides in the vineyard. Only with these original yeasts of the grapes can the characteristics of the grapes, the soil and the climate be expressed in the organic wine. This is followed by what is known as lactic acid fermentation, in which the more aggressive malic acid contained is converted into the milder and more tolerable lactic acid. This red wine then matures and refines itself in barriques for a few months until it is bottled without filtering.

Château La Canorgue Coin Perdu, IGP Méditerranée, organic wine, red, 2020/21

The comedy film A Good Year was decisive in making the Château La Canorgue "Coin Perdu winery and wine known around the world. It was already very popular with connoisseurs because of its high quality. Now we owe it to Ridley Scott, Russel Crowe and Marion Cotillard that the wine Coin Perdu, made from vines that are more than 100 years old, is hardly available anymore.

Les raisins du Coin Perdu proviennent d'un vignoble dont les vignes ont plus de 100 ans. Les cépages Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre et Cinsault ont ensuite été plantés dans un vignoble en «coffret mixte». Ils mûrissent ensemble et sont également récoltés et transformés à la main ensemble. Cependant, la récolte n'est que de 20 à 25 hectolitres par hectare, il est compréhensible que ce vin coûte un peu plus cher que les autres vins bio du Château La Canorgue. La vinification suit les méthodes traditionnelles en ce sens que 50% des raisins sont débarrassés des tiges et des panicules et 50% des tiges et des panicules dans la purée sont fermentés spontanément avec la propre levure du raisin pendant une période de 20 jours. Ensuite, 30% du vin est élevé en demi muids, qui sont des barriques en chêne d'une capacité de 650 litres. L'autre partie de ce vin bio est élevé en cuves inox. Le vin n'est pas filtré.

Organic wine - preparation, Clos du Joncuas, Gigondas

CLOS DU JONCUAS, in the heart of the Gigondas vineyard, is a unique organic winery in Gigondas for its location, soil, cultivation and winemaking method. 

The geographical, geological and climatic conditions in
Gigondas, Vacqueras and Seguret

• It is located in a privileged geographical position where the vines thrive on terraces in full sunshine and protected from the cold mistral winds by the Dentelles de Montmirail mountain range are.
• The soil in the vineyards is composed of elements of the oligocean and limestone from the Triassic epoch (about 230 million years ago), with red-ocher colored Earth and dolomite with gypsum and cargneules (a carbonate sedimentary rock).
• The climate is hot and dry, with 2,800 hours of sunshine per year.
• The mistral is the prevailing wind.
• The grape varieties are Grenache (80%, the rest are Mourvedre, Cinsault and very small proportions of old grape varieties that are still scattered throughout the vineyards.< /li>
• The grapes are harvested manually at the beginning of October, very early in the morning when the weather is sunny and the temperature is still cool.
• Vinification follows the traditional style of the region in cement vats for the red wines of Clos du Joncuas and in stainless steel tanks for the rosé wines.
• The temperature during winemaking (maceration and fermentation) is 30° to 33° C for red wines and 18° C for rosé wines. This process is initiated without the addition of foreign yeasts and takes 25 to 32 days. During this process, the grape skins floating on the must are regularly stirred with the must so that all the ingredients in the skins can be dissolved and transferred to the must.
• The wines are made by racking, which is called transferring the wine from one container to another, leaving the solids at the bottom of the container. This is a time-consuming process, but it avoids fining and filtering the wine.
• The aging of the red wines takes place in large oak barrels (no barriques) and lasts a year. Rosé wines mature in stainless steel tanks until April of the following year.

  The name Gigondas comes from jucunditas, which in Latin means joy and happiness. It became Gigondas over time. A village that has lived for two millennia at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail mainly from its vines and the wine that expresses the generosity of its terroir.

The vineyards are 130 m above sea level on a gently rising south-east slope. The soil consists of clayey loam and limestone fragments from the erosion of limestone rock, which has mixed with marl and marl-limestone, it is good at absorbing and storing water. In the Mediterranean climate with longer periods of drought, this ability has a very positive effect on the ripening of the grapes.

This vineyard, planted with the Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre grape varieties, has been going organic since 2006 and since 2018 using biodynamic methods following the Demeter guidelines managed. In order to ensure the health of the grapes and to promote their natural potential for rich flavors and aromas, we use natural, self-produced compost, medicinal plant preparations, silica and horn manure. This also increases the fertility and biodiversity of the soil in the vineyards, but also the resistance of the vines to various unfavorable influences of climate change.

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 6-8 months.
