The winemaking

Using exclusively manual harvesting allows us to attain grapes of optimum ripeness, either for producing light and fruity wines or wines with long ageing potential.

The wine is then matured in vats or in oak barrels of 500 litres.

Fermentation is done on a plot-by-plot basis for quality, using our exclusively Cabernet Franc grapes.

Clotilde, as her father René-Noël, wishes, above all, to focus on the traditional aspect of its vinifications. Her main objective is to obtain high quality wines, every year, while respecting the characteristics of each vintage.

​

This desire for perfectionism is recognized by the press since the 70's. Thus, the cuvée Les Rogelins is cited as a reference of the appellation, every year.

The rigorous work handed down from father to son finds his reward in the durable quality of some great vintages like 1947, 1959, 1976, 1989 and 1997, very pleasant to drink to this day.
