In 1987, Jean-Claude Valayer and his two sons Hubert (winemaker) and Denis modernised the winery of Château de Deurre (XVI century).

Vinification

Our wine making and aging processes are done by traditionnal methods.
We hand select all of our grapes on a table before a long fermentation in stainless steel tanks with temperature control.
The grapes go by gravity on a conveyer belt in the press and the wine in a tank under by gravity too.
All aging and bottling are done in our temperature control cellars.
