Some early vinification stages for the Reds…





In the first stage the grapes, Syrah here, are tipped onto a sorting table and checked. 

Then they are moved on for de-stemming.

Next, they fall onto a moving carpet and are sorted a second time, before being
gravity fed into the fermentation vat.

Four or five weeks later after regular circulation of the lees, the vat will be emptied
and the winewill be (almost …) ready !

Wednesday 18 September 2013, Our Trélans 2013 starts fermenting




Three photos to try to illustrate the fermentation of
Chenin and Vermentino grapes getting under way… 








Attacking the whites !





Under the clear September sunshine in ideal cool weather, 
we picked the Vermentino (top photo). Tomorrow, it’ll be the Chenin’s turn (lower photo) to enter the cellars…








Sunshine for the 2013 harvest…





After a short but intense rainy spell, the weather cheered up in the vineyard,
with cool nights and great days.




Picking started Wednesday 11th with the Merlot from Mas Garrigou which is destined for the 2013 Le Merle aux Alouettes !




The bunches are splendid and in outstanding condition …
