However, the terroir varies as the vines are dispersed among different parcels. Chateau La Marzelle was certified biodynamic in 2018.
To produce the wine of Chateau La Marzelle, vinification takes place in truncated, stainless steel vats that range in size from 80 to 100 hectoliters. However, a small portion of the harvest is micro-vinified in 500-liter French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. The wine is aged in 60% new, French oak barrels for 18 months.
