Lagarette Wine Video

Filed in archive Wine Videos on May 11, 2007

This is a wonderful video that shows and discusses natural winemaking at Lagarette. It's all in French, but even if you flunked French class like I did (okay, I didn't flunk but I didn't impress anyone either), it has subtitles. They talk about creating their wines through monitoring, tasting, and listening. Yes, that's right. They listen to the vat. Hmm...?

Here's the video description from the YouTube page: Olympe and Yvon, with grandparents vinegrowers, and parents cooper grew up in a rural environment exposed to the intricate world of wine making. To grow, to produce a great "natural" wine is a significant act. It is a kind of production, but it is also a sign, a way of recalling that producing wine without phytosanitary products or chemicals, is above all about respecting the health of consumers, respecting biodiversity, the environment, Nature.
