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.
