Production Details Early-morning manual harvest; grapes are destemmed and directly pressed, then fermented with native yeasts in cooled, temperature-controlled stainless steel. The wine is racked into 120+ year-old foudres and aged biologically on fine lees for one year sous-voile, beneath a fleurette. Tibouren vines are described as over 30 years old, the Tibouren fruit as estate-grown, and farming as certified organic; the Grenache’s source and certification body are not specified. The producer’s current cuvée sheet describes its old foudres as oak.
