The production of wines with no added sulphur, or S.A.I.N.S (Sans Aucun Intrant Ni Sulfite / Without Any Inputs Or Sulphites), represents an increasingly popular approach in the Bordeaux vineyard. At Château Cazebonne, this low-intervention philosophy aims to offer the truest and purest expression of fruit and terroir. Producing a living wine without this traditional preservative requires extreme rigour at every stage of winemaking.

A requirement for quality at every stage of winemaking

Crafting a wine with no added sulphur is a challenge that requires meticulous attention from the vineyard right through to bottling:

• High-quality grapes: Only grapes in impeccable sanitary condition are selected, often from organic and biodynamic viticulture. This entails paying close attention to the vine's natural balance and disease prevention.
• Impeccable winery hygiene: Strict cleanliness is essential to prevent any microbial contamination that could compromise the wine's freshness and delicate aromas.
• Precise vinification and maturation: Every operation is conducted with the utmost care to protect the wine from oxidation and preserve its natural vitality.
