La mise en bouteille
The bottling is done in late summer, before the harvesting of the grapes.
It is a task made by hand, and the tools are shared amongst domain owners.

It consists in pouring the wine into each bottle. Then a stopper is inserted with a specific machine.

One bottle is filled after another in a precise and fast way by one person, while another puts the stoppers in.


Once the wine has been bottled, it is stored while waiting to be marketed.

The dusty bottles are carefully wiped before being sold.

They are then capsuled, which means that the necks are coated with a white or red capsule, according to the color of the wine inside.

 

The labels are manually stuck on during the last stage.

The adhesive used is an odourless natural strong adhesive, which does not alter the future conservation of the wine.

What remains to be done is the packing of the bottles, packed in cardboard boxes of 6 or 12 bottles or sometimes in individual packings, especially for Magna, often given as presents !!
