Vinification of La Baume Grand Olivette Cabernet Sauvignon from Domaine de la Baume

The grapes for the La Baume Grand Olivette Cabernet Sauvignon / Syrah come from the picturesque wine region of Languedoc in France. Here, the vines benefit from a Mediterranean climate characterized by warm sunny hours and cool nights. These conditions allow for a slow and even ripening of the grapes, promoting the development of aromas. Harvesting is done by hand, to select only the best grapes. After the complete grape selection, gentle processing follows. The fermented grapes are gently pressed to separate the juice from the skins. The classic vinification then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruity aromas of the two grape varieties. The wine is aged over several months in a mix of barrels and stainless steel tanks. This gives the wine a complex structure and harmonious balance without losing freshness. Through this careful vinification, the La Baume Grand Olivette Cabernet Sauvignon / Syrah becomes a distinctive highlight of any wine list.
