White wines are made from only a light pressing of first run juice and vinified in stainless steel tanks with strict temperature control to maintain a balance of ripe fruit and freshness. The malolactic fermentation and ageing take place partly in oak barrels but mostly in cements tanks. The fermentations extend 3 to 4 weeks with a slow progressive increase in temperature to extract a very fine tannin structure.
#ANNE PICHON SAUVAGE MANUAL#
Reds are vinified in small 50 HL cement tanks or stainless steel, at low temperature to achieve a long maceration and two gentle pump overs daily, with additional manual punch downs if necessary. Employing careful vineyard management, low yields and late harvesting, Pichon hand-harvests and destems all of the fruit. And because of the Mistral that sweeps up from the hills below, fruit is less susceptible to rot and disease, providing and ideal environment for organic viticulture. The vines on the 15 hectare estate had been completely neglected, were super-gnarly and thus, de-facto organic. The micro-climate Anne Pichon’s vineyard is dry, with cool, manually tilled soils that retain moisture when it rains. 2021 Anne Pichon Sauvage Orange - Ventoux, Rhone, France (750ml) Anne and her late husband Marc purchased an abandoned farm house at the base of Mont Ventoux in the 1990’s to follow their dream of a bohemian, agrarian lifestyle.
