OUR WINE: A unique varietal local to the region

The Verdesse is the only varietal that we grow. This alpine grape is well suited to our terroir, situated
on a glacial deposit at about 350m in altitude.

This unique wine is full-bodied, well balanced and leaves an impression of fresh fruit on the palate.

Récolte de Verdesse - Le Mas du Bruchet

PRODUCTION

The winemaking process starts with picking which we usually plan in early October. The wine is hand picked in the early morning while the outside temperature is low. The grapes are pressed slowly at low pressure to avoid crushing the stems. The must is transferred to barrels for barrel fermenting and remains in the barrels for a full year. No additives are included in the process except for small amounts of mandatory sulfites. 

After a year in barrels the wine is kept in vats for 6 months to clear and is bottled with or without filtration.

The yield is very low in order to guarantee the high quality that we aspire to reach. The annual production is around 2500 bottles. The alcool content ranges between 12,5% to 14,5% with no chaptalisation.
