Ratafia

We talked to you about our ratafia a few months ago when we bottled it. It's now ready to be tasted.

The ratafia, it's must (grape juice) taken during pressing (at the end of the cuvée in our case) that is mutated with alcohol. This is to say that we stop the alcoholic fermentation (transformation of the contained sugars in the juice into alcohol) by addition of alcohol (secret) to reach 18 degrees. At this point, the sugars in the juice will not turn in alcohol and stay as "natural sugar taste".

During the 2009 harvest, we selected Pinot Noir and Chardonnay juice that we aged in wood barel for a half and the other half in glass canisters.

Now, we offer a blend of 50% Pinot Noir aged in glass canisters and 50% Chardonnay aged in oak barrels.

Have a nice tasting...
