The grapes come from our oldest vines which were planted over 60 years ago on the heights of L’Inlière, a strategic location for raisining on the vine.
At the end of September, we pre-prune the branch carrying the fruit, which helps the grapes to begin drying out naturally. This is done to allow the water from the grapes to evaporate by exposing them to air and sunshine, to achieve higher concentrations of sugar.
The fruit is then hand-harvested and carefully sorted, pressed and vinified in concrete tanks.
This technique requires the harvest to be carried out under perfectly healthy conditions, which is why we cannot guarantee that Pléiade will be produced every year!
Pléiade is the fruit of hand-harvesting among friends. It has the same sweetness and delicious flavour as you sometimes find in poetry.
