Bottling of Burgundy Wine
| 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 !!
