The white Ch\u00e2teau Simone is made from 80% Clairette, 10% Grenache Blanc, 6% Ugni Blanc, 2% Bourboulenc and 2% Muscat Blanc. The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted\u00a0immediately before being transferred\u00a0in\u00a040 kg baskets. In the cellar, the grapes are sorted\u00a0again. The grapes are then lightly pressed so they burst (foulage) and are then let to drip (\u00e9gouttage) to\u00a0create the “mo\u00fbt de goutte”. This, before pressing the rest of the grapes which gives the “vin de presse”. The rest after the press is then broken down and is mixed into the wine for a new press (reb\u00eachage). A partial clarification\u00a0is done\u00a0(d\u00e9bourbage) before the fermentation. The final wine is stored\u00a0on oak – first in larger “foudre” for 6 months on the lies of the wine, then for 1 year on oak barrels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
