Giraudiére’s Saumur-Champigny “Les Meuniers” is destemmed and fermented for 15 days with pumpovers twice per day for the first 8 days and once every 2 days for the remaining 7 days, at a maximum of 21°C. It’s aged in large neutral vats and the first sulfites are added after vinification and again at bottling. The wine is filtered.
