La vinification en Chai 2021
Tout d’abord le Chai qu’est-ce que c’est ? En premier lieu il s’agit de l’endroit où est stocké le vin et/ou l’alcool. Mais plus précisément c’est là que se déroule la vinification, c’est-à-dire la transformation du raisin en un type de vin précis avec ses propres caractéristiques, de la vinification à la mise en bouteille.
Au niveau de nos vignes, nous avons fini la fermentation alcoolique pour les vignes du Chateau Font Martin et nous sommes en pleine fermentation alcoolique pour les vignes du clos Marquet. Pour les vins blancs et rosé, ils sont en cours de fermentation à basse température, ce qui la rend plus longue.
Tous les jours nous contrôlons la densité et la température de nos vins, c’est-à-dire que nous contrôlons le taux de densité du moût afin que le sucre se transforme en l’alcool. Pour cela, la température doit augmenter pour que la densité diminue.

The wine prune is a careful operation, with technical which is very important for the quality of the futur harvest and for the perenniality of the vine.
