Winemaking Process

Alexandre Durand employs organic farming practices with biodynamic principles, focusing on minimal intervention to preserve the wine's natural expression. The Carignan grapes undergo a three-month de-stemmed maceration without extraction techniques, allowing for gentle flavor and color development. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged in fiberglass tanks to maintain its purity and freshness. No sulfites are added during vinification, resulting in a wine that authentically reflects its terroir.
