Every year the Commission for the terroir issues
the terms and conditions corresponding to the different selections
and grape varieties.
The parcels are inspected after the pruning.
At the end of August, the Commission, which is composed of
technicians from the Department of Agriculture of the Aude,
the Director, the oenologist and 25 winemakers, re-visit all
the AOC Corbières parcels to confirm or definitively
to exclude the parcel from the selection.
The parcels which make part of the AOC Corbieres Boutenac are
selected at the last moment by the producers, the diirector
and the oenologist. They are used to produce this wine.

Thanks to the investments made in 2006, the
cellar is able to produce wine using several different procedures:
• Carbonic maceration
• Traditional, in vats
• Traditional, in Gimar vats
• "Flash détente" or thermo-vinification.
The cellar is equipped with a cooling unit of 1,000,000 "frigories" (refrigeration
units) and with three pneumatic presses. |
