Viticultural and vinification methods Vincent uses no weedkillers or fertilizers. The harvest is done manually and then grapes are sorted 3 times including a vibrating table with LED to weed out any unfit specimens. A cold maceration takes place for 10 days then warmed for fermentation to start. The grapes are uncrushed at this point - Vincent believes initial fermentation should be intracellular to preserve fruit flavour. 30% of new oak is used on every cuvée. No fining or filtration
