Simon at Domaine Capmartin has been mixing things up for over a decade, first going completely organic he is now on the road to biodynamic certification . His wines all follow the principles of low intervention with no added sulphates, wild ferments and all to create natural wines with low tannins, a change from other wines within the AOC.

After the grapes arrive at the winery and are destemmed then a period of cold maceration takes place before a wild ferment and the wines age for 6 months in stainless steel, temperature controlled tanks, this precise and careful fermentation results in low sulphates.
