À Propos de Cette Méthode

Including grape stems (rachis) during fermentation adds herbal, spicy character and structural tannins. Popularized by Burgundy producers like Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Requires fully ripe, lignified stems to avoid green, vegetal flavors. Used in 10-100% of the batch depending on vintage and house style.
