SYMBIOSE

chateau de verreux symbiose

VITICULTURE
The vines are cultivated without chemical herbicides or synthetic products. The rows are plowed, and we favor natural grass cover between them. Manual de-budding is carried out to limit yields and prevent fungal diseases. Harvesting is done by hand, using small crates.

VINIFICATION
This blended cuvée expresses the rich identity of Jura’s native grape varieties. After a rigorous manual sorting, the grapes are fully destemmed and cofermented from the outset. A cold pre-fermentation maceration is carried out, followed by a spontaneous fermentation driven by indigenous yeasts. Vatting lasts for three weeks as a gentle infusion, with light pump-overs to preserve finesse and freshness. Racking is followed by a soft, low-pressure pressing.

MATURATION
Ageing takes place in old 400L oak barrels for ten months. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration, under natural cork.
