Approach

Sustainable

The vineyards of the Domaine Georges Glantenay are farmed by Guillaume Glantenay with a sustainable approach, but without organic certification. To restrain the yields, in warm times, de-leafing and hedging can be conducted, both in height and width.

Harvesting is made by hand. After sorting on the vibrating table, the grapes are destemmed and given the cool pre-fermentation maceration. After fermentation, cool maceration is repeated.

Ageing is conducted in French oak barrels for 10 to 18 months depending on the appellation. New wood also depends on the appellation - it is 20 percent for village wines and 30 percent for the premiers crus.
