Vinification of the Rouge Mont Baudile IGP from Luc Saint-Roche

The vinification of the Rouge Mont Baudile IGP from Luc Saint-Roche combines traditional winemaking with a modern quest for expression and authenticity. The carefully selected grapes come from the hilly landscape around Mont Baudile, amidst sun-drenched vineyards in the south of France. The unique microclimate with plenty of sunshine, cool nights, and mineral-rich soil ensures perfect ripeness and expressive aromas already in the vineyard.

The cultivation is carried out with respectful manual labor. The vines are deliberately kept short so that each grape can develop its full aroma. Hand-harvesting ensures the selection of the juiciest and most aromatic berries, with gentle handling of the harvested fruit. Immediately after picking, the grapes are transported to the cellar in small baskets to avoid oxidation.

In the winery, Luc Saint-Roche relies on traditional fermentation on the skins in stainless steel tanks, with careful temperature control to preserve the fine fruit notes and the typical structure of the region’s grape varieties. During fermentation, the natural coloring agents and tannins are optimally extracted. Further maturation takes place in selected French barriques, where the wine first rests and further develops its aromatic profile. This aging rounds off the tannins, integrates the spice, and gives the wine depth as well as a velvety, complex structure. Finally, the Rouge Mont Baudile IGP from Luc Saint-Roche is gently bottled to preserve its intense fruitiness and elegance in the glass.
