The winemaking at La Cotelleraie is old-school: crushed berries make their way into wooden vats, where punch downs occur twice a day for about ten days, followed by another 10 to 12 days of maceration. After pressing, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation begins naturally in the wooden vats. The wine rests over winter and is lightly filtered before bottling. In the glass this yields a classic, light/medium bodied red, with flavors of strawberry, raspberry, bell pepper, and cedar. A Parisian bistro wine if there ever was one. Certified organic.
