THE WINE MAKING
UBY / DOMUS / TORTUES Range
The grapes are harvested at night when fully mature with harvesting protection. Skin maceration, inert pneumatic pressing (protected from oxygen), fermentation at low temperature, maturing on fine lees, blending and storing in thermo-regulated tanks.
O² range
The wines are made by the conventional method. CO
2 is added at the bottling stage.
BAS ARMAGNAC
Plots in vineyards of Ugni Blanc and, more recently Folle Blanche, have been selected grown on tawny silica soils to give the Estate’s Armagnac its elegance, its softness and its fruitiness.
The wine is distilled on the Estate in a traditional still. It is during the ageing in barrels made of local oak that the miraculous alchemy between alcohol and wood takes place. The ‘eau de vie’ is thus transformed into this noble amber-coloured liquid whose fineness and richness are the promises fulfilled at the end of a slow development under the watchful eye of the wine maker.
