Technical facilities at
vignobles Montagnac

The cooperative's technical facilities are ideally suited to the grape varieties it harvests and to the specific types of wine it produces.

Vinification is organised in special "workshops" :

- pressing and settling (white and rosé wines)
   (capacity: 1,200 hl/day)
- vinification (white) and aging
- vinification (rosé) and aging
- traditional vinification in conventional temperature-
   controlled vats (15 ,000 hl/batch)
- traditional vinification in self-emptying temperature-
   controlled vats (13 000 hl/batch)
- thermovinification (hot pressing) (capacity: 300 hl/h)
- temperature-controlled aging: capacity 30,000 hls.
- barrel aging.

 

Our own staff takes charge of inspecting and analysing the wines and customer orders with the aid of the Institut Coopératif du Vin oenological laboratory. We load tankers from Mondays to Thursdays (at least 48 hours' notification required). Orders for bottles are handled separately.
We treat all our wastewater by means of a pond system and accelerated evaporation.
