Prunelle De Navacelle Régnié 2020

Whole bunches are handpicked in small crates and selected in the vineyard. 12 days of whole-cluster, semi-carbonic maceration are followed by a very gentle and slow pressing using the château’s old, wooden vertical press.

The must is transferred into 60-year-old 2500L foudres, where fermentation continues with native yeasts. After racking, the wine spends twelve months in 4-year-old 228L barrels and 60-year-old 2500L foudres before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Sulfur is not used in the vinification process; a very small amount is added before bottling.
