8 STEPS TO EMULATE THE VIGNERON OF BORDEAUX AND BOURGOGNE Step in Process Our advantage 1. Optimal management of vines Easier to care for plot of only 5 hectares 2. Thinning 10-15% of reds All top producers do this 3. Optimal timing of harvest Smaller plot allows quicker completion 4. Careful selective harvest Possible by hand thanks to small plot 5. Internal quality control Few small producers have a lab 6. Cold soaking (pellicular maceration) Only cost effective in small quantities 7. Reduction without O2 Innovation for our size 8. Handling grapes with great care Equipment unusual for small producer
