CELLAR Chateaux NODOT

Chateau NODOT has been a family property since 1760. Eleven generations have succeeded each other with a single passion: wine. 

Chateau NODOT wines are certified Biodynamic by Demeter and Bio by Ecocert.

Biodynamic cultivation transmits a new energy to the soil and plants, which is expressed in the wines in the form of a multitude of nuances of flavor and nutritional qualities. Biodynamics allows all the riches of the earth to be transferred to the wine for an intense aromatic expression that reflects the terroir. 

The work in the cellar is an extension of the efforts made during the year in the vineyard.

The harvest

It is vinified in vats using the most modern oenological techniques.

The maceration of the grapes takes place at a low temperature (18 ° -20 ° C) to capture the most volatile aromas.

Then the raising of the temperature during the alcoholic fermentation, allows to extract from the peel its beautiful natural color and tannins.

Aging in French oak barrels is the key to achieving a balance between woody and fruity tones.

To preserve the aromas of white and rosé wine, the Chateau Nodot winery has opted for a sugar cane fiber cap, which has the characteristic that it does not let air through and offers the advantage of being biodegradable.

For red wines they use a technological cork stopper. Thanks to the fine membrane found on each end, this cork ensures aging of the wines in optimal conditions of exchange with oxygen and avoids the taste of "cork".

The wines of these vineyards grown in Biodynamics are absolutely natural, no proteins of animal origin are used to lighten them and are therefore compatible with a vegan diet. In addition, the low sulphite content makes them very digestible.
