Annual leave
The wine estate will be closed from July 28th to August 15th.
We'll take care of your orders when we'll be back from our annual vacation.
Château Grand'Grange is committed to the quest for excellence, driven by a deep respect for the terroir and its precious fruits.
In the vineyards
Guided by a strong attachment to the terroir and its vines, Andrea draws inspiration from biodynamic culture with a clear goal: to obtain grapes of exceptional quality.
This is achieved by a voluntary reduction in yields to allow for maximum grape concentration.
Every step is carefully considered, guided by the objective of preserving the very essence of the grape.

Soil work
Soil work in the vineyards includes various essential tasks to ensure high-quality production: weeding, plowing or hand-picking, subsoiling, grassing, organic additions...
These interventions are carried out with care and precision, respecting the environment and sustainable practices.

Work on the vine
From the birth of the first buds to the eagerly awaited harvest, Andrea performs meticulous work,
dictated by his experience and knowledge of the vine and its specific needs:
uprooting, planting, pruning, clipping, de-budding, tying, trellising, de-budding, fertilization,
phytosanitary treatment, thinning of clusters...

Harvest
At Château, the harvest is done exclusively by hand, respecting the vine and its fruits. Our harvesters carefully select the bunches on the vine and use different transport methods depending on the plots. Generally, we use a harvest bin, but for the Fleurie plot, harvesters use 15 kg crates.
This meticulous handling aims to preserve the integrity of the berries, minimizing any excessive crushing.
Beyond the harvest, it is an eagerly anticipated celebration, where conviviality reigns among the rows of vines full of promises.

In the cellar
In the cellar, winemaking is approached with simplicity and rigor, in harmony with the work done throughout the year, respecting the fruit and its potential:
- Sulfiting of wines reduced to a strict minimum or nonexistent, with the goal of preserving their purity and natural expression.
- Management of the stems according to the vintages to ensure structure, concentration, and complexity of each wine.
- Fermentation at low temperatures
- Aging in tanks and barrels to create different blends and enhance each vintage in a unique and authentic way.
