A malolactic fermentation (also called lactic acid fermentation or biological malolactic fermentation) does not occur. After this, the wine matures for several months in a CO2 atmosphere in stainless steel so that there is not much exposure to the air. This makes a minimum sulphurization of the wine possible. The wine is bottled without filtration in February or March. Chateau la Canorgue With a great deal of diligence and idealism, Jean Pierre and Martine Margan have turned a dilapidated old building, which didn’t have a wine cellar, and neglected vineyards into an exemplary wine estate. Whereas the neighboring wine-growers use a lot of fertilizers and chemicals in order to harvest 60 to 70 hl per hectare, at the Chateau la Canorgue they are satisfied with about 30 to 35 hl. It is no secret that small harvests have a positive effect on the quality of the wine. Thus it is not surprising that the Margans were named wine-growers of the year relatively quickly by the Gault-Millau. They have won so many prizes that it is almost impossible to count them, for example gold medals in Macon, Paris, Avignon, the Coupe de Coeur in the Guide Hachette. Did you know that the movie “A Good Year”, starring Russell Crowe, was filmed on the Chateau la Canorgue?
