How does Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé manage its vines and vinification?
The estate uses no synthetic products and its viticultural practices meet organic standards, without certification. The vines are pruned short and yields do not exceed 30 hl/ha. In the cellar, the grapes are partially destemmed, pump-overs are favoured over punch-downs, and the ageing lasts 14 to 15 months in barrels with 30 to 50% new oak. The wines are not filtered, or only very lightly so.
