Damejeanne
The Damejeanne is a bright, expressive red with vibrant fruit, gentle tannins, and remarkable freshness. Skin fermentation enhances purity and texture, while élevage in glass demijohns contributes subtle complexity. The palate is rounded, balanced, and persistent.

Vinification
The 2019 Marquette from Vergennes was hand-harvested in early September. Fermentation began whole cluster for two days, then the grapes were destemmed and foot-crushed. Spontaneous fermentation took place on the skins in open vats for approximately two and a half weeks.
-
Ageing
The wine was then aged in flextank, egg, and glass demijohns before bottling in September 2020. No sulfur or other additives were used.
