Description
This is a tribute to the Sisters of Charity who cared for the ‘poor and sick’ and who often bequeathed their possessions to the Hospices.
The south-facing Epenots contribute their finesse to the cuvée. The Refène, with its limestone-rich soils, sublimates the wine and ages it well. It is undoubtedly the Rugiens Hauts, with its deep, chalky, stony marl, that energises this wine and provides the tension on the finish.
Vinification
FermentationThe grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small crates to prevent the bunches from settling. For our red wines, the grapes are taken to the winery, passed through a sorting table and destemmed before being loaded into the vinification tank. Immediately, we proceed to a so-called “pre-fermentation cold maceration” which, by cooling the tank to 10°C, optimizes the extraction of the natural aromas of the grapes and oxygenates the musts. We favor long vatting times with daily punching down for 8 to 10 days to facilitate the extraction of tannins and colors. Finally, the final maceration lasts 3 to 5 days during which the must macerates gently at a controlled temperature to gain finesse and aroma.
