Quotes
“From 2006 we are destemming some of the crop, so our wines are more supple, with fine tannins. We are extending the vinification by 5 to 8 days from 15-20 days up to 20-26 days. We will only do pumping over, and no cap punching and no vat emptying and refilling.” (The Empire fights back!! JL-L)
Céline Chauvet
“Our 17 plots are spread across all points of the compass, so we are well covered whatever the weather in a vintage. There is no predominance of any one area in our Tradition red wine.”
Thiérry Usseglio
“I’m now trying do the malo on our whites since I feel it allows more freshness in the wines as they age – especially at 7 to 8 years’ old. Around 20% oak on the white can bring a little extra complexity.”
