VIGNIFICATION

Goutte d’Or is made from the first and final pressings of the Botritys cuvée — in other words, the finest juices from our finest cuvée.

Fermentation lasted 3 months, with no added yeast or chaptalisation. It started spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts, which contribute to the expression of the terroir. Fermentation stopped naturally, followed by racking.

The wine was then aged in barrels on fine lees for 5 months. Before bottling, the wine underwent filtration.
