As a result of technical, environmental and aesthetic considerations, the new winery is resolutely modern, deriving benefits from new, more efficient, and more innovative equipment.
The 4,400 sq m building, located on a 3.30 hectare plot, is semi-submerged with a green roof. It contains a reception area for grapes, with optical sorting, a vat room for vinification, a cellar dedicated to malolactic fermentation, and a cellar for maturation. Eventually, bottling and labelling equipment will be added to the line.
The cellar features 18 inverted truncated cone-shaped vats, hoist system, and vat lift, is 100% gravity fed.
A nitrogen production plant enables permanent protection of the wines, as well as oxygen control during vinification and ageing. Photovoltaic panels allow for self-production of part of the electricity required for the new structure's operations.
Carillon d'Angélus, like the entire estate, is HVE3 certified. This highest level of "High Environmental Value" certification attests to the best practices of Angélus in terms of biodiversity, phytosanitary strategy, and fertilisation management. The building is also BREEAM certified.
Wellbeing in the workplace improved with the implementation of these sustainability measures because the health and comfort of the company’s employees rose.
