At <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"83\">Domaine du P\u00e8re Auguste<\/b>, red winemaking is a work of patience and precision, where every decision made by the winemaker influences the color, tannins, and the final bouquet of the cuv\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"4\">The skin: the reservoir of color and structure<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">The first thing to know is that, whether dealing with white or black grapes, the juice contained in the pulp is almost always <b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"136\">colorless<\/b>. The secret of the red color lies exclusively in the <b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"205\">skin<\/b> (pellicle) of the grape berry.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">It is within this skin that two fundamental elements are hidden:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Anthocyanins:<\/b> These are the natural pigments that give the wine its color, ranging from brilliant ruby to deep purple.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Tannins:<\/b> These molecules provide the wine with its structure, mouthfeel, and aging potential.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"8\">Maceration: the key stage of extraction<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">To transfer these components from the skin to the juice, we practice <b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"74\">skin contact maceration<\/b>. Unlike white wine, which is pressed immediately, red wine is created through prolonged contact between the liquid and solid phases.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">Once the grapes are placed in vats, alcoholic fermentation begins, and the alcohol produced acts as a solvent that helps extract tannins and color. Depending on the type of wine sought at the Domaine, this period can last from <b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"236\">one to four weeks<\/b>:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"11\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Short maceration:<\/b> For supple, fruity, and easy-to-drink wines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Long maceration:<\/b> For our age-worthy cuv\u00e9es, which are richer, more complex, and full-bodied.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"12\">The winemaker&#8217;s work: punching down and pumping over<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">During this maceration, the skins rise to the surface and form what is called the <b data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"92\">&#8220;cap&#8221; (chapeau de marc)<\/b>. To extract the best from the grapes, we must put these skins back in contact with the juice:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"14\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Pumping over (Remontage):<\/b> Juice is pumped from the bottom of the vat and poured over the top.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Punching down (Pigeage):<\/b> The cap is gently pushed down into the juice.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"15\">Pressing and running off<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">Once the balance between color, aromas, and tannins is deemed perfect, we proceed to <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"95\">running off (\u00e9coulage)<\/b>. We then separate:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"17\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Free-run wine:<\/b> The juice that flows naturally from the vat, often the most refined.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Press wine:<\/b> Obtained by pressing the remaining skins, it is richer in tannins and color.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"18\">The blending of these two juices, followed by aging, gives birth to our characteristic red wines of the Loire terroir, combining finesse and character.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pereauguste.com\/produit\/cuvee-pastourelle\/\">&gt; What is a &#8220;saign\u00e9e&#8221; (bleeding) method?<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_image=&#8221;84785&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; mobile_height=&#8221;300&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; style=&#8221;inherited&#8221;][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h1 data-path-to-node=\"4\">Cabernet Franc Red Wine &#8220;Les Tailleux&#8221; AOC Touraine &#8211; Structure and Finesse<\/h1>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The authentic expression of Touraine Cabernet Franc.<\/b> Our cuv\u00e9e <b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"68\">&#8220;Les Tailleux&#8221;<\/b> is the result of a rigorous selection of our Cabernet Franc parcels.
