## Wine making process

Mas Louise Côtes du Rhône 2023 is produced using grapes from Domaine Duseigneur's biodynamically farmed vineyards. The Grenache and Syrah varietals are vinified separately in temperature-controlled tanks, with fermentation occurring naturally using indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes light filtration before being bottled. This process is guided by the estate's commitment to biodynamic viticulture and a philosophy of expressing the unique character of the terroir.
