In our view, hand-picking is an essential criterion for any bottling !
Le PASTIER is made from grape must and Cognac brandy.
We use the ‘décavaillonnage’ method (a chemical-free weed control technique) to protect our soil and its ecosystem.
This preserves the indigenous yeasts responsible for the fermentation of our distillation wines, sparing us the need to use synthetic yeasts.
