"Bordeaux Wines, Your Style"

Before the official launch in November. Have a look...

 

Domaine de Chevalier, Ovum by Taransaud and the golden ratio.

OVUM vats were created, by Taransaud, in keeping with the golden ratio i.e. ((1+√5)/2), or 1.618.

This ratio is manifested in the relationship between the 3 diameters (three hoops are necessary to build Ovum).

In order to respect the harmony of this construction, Ovum was placed on a pentagonal base also built according to the “divine” ratio.  

The ovoid shape enhances the wine’s natural convection during fermentation and promotes the natural mixing of the lees by causing a permanent movement along the walls.

In a world premiere, a batch of Domaine de Chevalier white wine from the 2011 vintage  has been fermented and aged in Ovum.

We will inform you regularly about this lot.

Sorting grapes. Video

During the picking, each hand picker sorts out precisely and systematicaly bunch by bunch.

The crates of fruit are then emptied on vibrating and draining sorting bands. Once again, they are cleaned before and after destemming.

Then, tanks are filled by gravity to preserve the berry integrity before vinification. Photos François Poincet.

The day these pictures were shot. We were honored with the visit of Commandery de Bordeaux Manila at Domaine de Chevalier.
