Vine-growing: The planting density is about 4500 plant per hectare, we work our soils mechanically and practice reasoned agriculture on the property since 1990. We do a short pruning in order to reduce our yields and obtain the best quality for our berries.
Winemaking:The harvest is conducted at optimal maturity then we use a sorting table in the cellar and carry out the vinification under controlled temperature according to the progress of the fermentation. We realize a long maceration of 8 weeks to produce colored wines oriented on the aromas.
Roger Voss - WineEnthusiast about Château de Gassis 2016: 88/100
This is a rich, generous wine. Its alcohol and dark fruits are balanced by acidity to give a wine that has both structure and juicy black-currant flavors. Drink this generous wine from 2021.
