At <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"103\">Domaine du P\u00e8re Auguste<\/b>, we do not dogmatically favor one method over another. Instead, we choose the tool\u2014hand or machine\u2014based on the grape variety, the specific cuv\u00e9e, and the desired oenological objective.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"4\">Hand-harvesting: the excellence of bespoke work<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Harvesting by hand remains the symbol of viticultural tradition and high quality. It is an essential step for our prestige cuv\u00e9es and our sparkling wines.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"6\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Selective sorting in the vineyard:<\/b> The human eye is irreplaceable. Our harvesters select only the clusters at perfect ripeness, discarding damaged berries or immature bunches.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Respecting fruit integrity:<\/b> Grapes are placed gently into crates. By avoiding premature crushing of the berries, we limit juice oxidation and contact with leaves. This care allows us to produce our &#8220;Blancs de Noirs&#8221; with crystalline purity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Must cleanliness:<\/b> Not a leaf nor an unwanted piece of stem ends up in the press.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"7\">Mechanical harvesting: mastering time and freshness<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">Contrary to popular belief, modern harvesting machines are valuable technological allies, particularly for aromatic grape varieties like <b data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"155\">Sauvignon Blanc<\/b>.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"9\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Responsiveness to ripeness:<\/b> The &#8220;window of opportunity&#8221; to harvest a grape at its peak is sometimes very short. The machine allows us to be extremely fast and harvest an entire plot at the exact moment when the sugar\/acidity balance is perfect.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Night harvesting: the quest for aromas:<\/b> This is one of the greatest assets of mechanization. By harvesting in the cool of the night, we capture the most fragile aromatic precursors that tend to evaporate under the heat of the sun.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Thermal protection:<\/b> Arriving at the winery with cool grapes allows for better control over the start of fermentation and preserves the full vibrancy of the fruit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"10\">Two methods, one standard: quality<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">Whether we use our hands or state-of-the-art equipment, our priority remains the same: bringing healthy, expressive grapes to the winery. The choice of method is dictated by the terroir and the profile of each wine. This flexibility allows us to offer Touraine wines that are always balanced and true to their identity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pereauguste.com\/en\/product\/chenin-dry\/\">&gt; Ripe grapes?
