Viticulture

Domaine Guenguen practice a reasoned approach to viticulture having obtained the HVE level 3 label, which translates into ploughing which activates the organic and microbial life of the soil, partial grassing on certain plots and the use of natural fertilizers and treatments against diseases.

Winemaking

After a long and delicate pressing, a cold settling of about twenty hours, the fermentation took place at around 16° to 18° C using indigenous yeasts. The malolactic fermentation on fine lees from November to mid-April, then a light fining and filtration on earth in order to obtain a clear and stable wine before bottling by us at the estate.

Aging is done exclusively in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the wine. These vats are thermoregulated, allowing fermentations at low temperatures to best develop the wine’s aromas.
