Manual selection of the harvest for Calmel & Joseph Les Freres d Armes Minervois

The wine originates from the Minervois, an area known for its Mediterranean climate and the influence of the nearby sea. The vineyards are situated on a diverse terroir with various soil types, including limestone, clay, and pebbles, which give the wine a unique and complex flavor. At peak ripeness, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand, carefully selected and sorted. The grapes then undergo traditional vinification, involving gentle pumping over at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation, followed by vatting for one month. During this process, the grapes are carefully fermented at a controlled temperature to promote optimal extraction of color and aromas. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is transferred to barrels, where it then ages for six months on fine lees. This aging period further develops the wine's complex flavor profiles and adds a silky texture.
