The moon rose is the fruit of one of the kind attention. Everything starts in the harvest. The grape is picked to keep the freshness of the seeds, the harvesting is done by hand and the seeds are sorted on the grapevine. Full boxes of 15kg of grapes are brought to the cellar and then, their contents are spread on large sorting tables. Second sorting of seeds is manual. Different kinds of grapes are placed then into rotary tanks which will create the first combination of aromas. The gravity and the weight of the grapes will release the juice which will be collected to become a wine superior in quality. In the world where everything is mechanized and informatized, in Domaine de l'Abbaye, Franc Petit said no to this standardization. Hand harvesting, hand sorting and simultaneous collection of the varieties of grapes make up the assembly. No wood either, to keep the intact of the original aromas.
