Faithful to the old adage, “To make good wine, you need good grapes”, here at Domaine de Beaurenard we harvest entirely by hand – for all the wines we make.
Each picker is given two buckets and, once the bunches are cut, separates the finest bunches from the damaged or immature grapes.
The grapes, picked at optimal maturity, are taken to the vat room in small bins so that they are not squashed, which would cause oxidation and therefore affect quality.
This stringent selection process improves the colour, smell, taste and
digestibility of our wine, and ensures that consistent quality is maintained despite the whims of nature.
