Vinification
Madiran Plénitude comes from vines grown in clay soil which gives the wine a powerful and structured character. Tannins and anthocyanins present in this wine are typical of the complex soil structure. Grape harvesting is manual. The various vines are separately made into wine. Maceration takes place over a period of between 20 - 30 days and is followed by regular pigeage. The malolactic fermentation is controlled, then the wine is matured in 225 litre barrels for a period of between 12 - 14 months.
