The soil and the wines

From the grape to the cellar...

The wines and the vinifications

In the field, the work is rigorous, by an exclusively handpicked vintage, so that the grape berry is not crushed, and keeps the natural colour of the juice. The vines are fully enclosed and pruned for a maximum suniness, cares and reduced treatments but adapted ones.

The harvest is carefully picked over and destemed before pressing in wine pneumatic press.

The wine making is done in ultra-modern stainless steel tank with automatic temperature regulation, to keep and preserve most of the aroma in wines. After fermentation, a bleeding of the best juice allows to obtain the cuvee Prestige in the 3 colours.

A full technologic bottling part allows to bottle wines very carefully: slow cadence and perfect cleanness to not rushing wines, and the quality of the design labels.

At Château les Crostes the production is divided in 3 colours: Syrah, Grenache and cabernet give tender Reds, aromatic and much flavoured. Cinsault and Grenache give fresh, pale and elegant Rosé and the white grapes like Semillon and Rolle represent a big part of the volume, in an area where this colour is only 5% of wines.
