Know-how : ageing
wine ageing
Ageing wines at Domaine de la Grange means respect of Nature cycles, in a controlled atmosphere and temperature, in order to preserve and protect the aromas, the complex richness of the molecular assemblage. Therefore, a closed building is a must if one wants perfection.
For the FITOU (AOP) the ageing lasts nine to ten months.
Vats or Oak Barrels ( 100% renewed each aeging) are selected depending on the selected wine. Ageing can be done in inox steel vats (regulated), in enamelled steel vats (red on the picture) or Oak Barrels.
