Production notes
The dealcoholization process is based on the principles of distillation. Unfortunately, as soon as a wine is heated above 70 ° C, unpleasant cooked notes remain. This is why Bon Voyage is dealcoholized under vacuum, a gentler method than any other process. Under vacuum, the boiling temperature of a liquid drops drastically, and you can dealcoholize a wine while heating it to less than 30 ° C. Vacuum distillation, which is divided into two stages. The first is to pass the wine through a distillation column and extract the very volatile compounds (the aromas) in a small alcoholic fraction at a temperature of 30 ° C. The second step is to make a second pass of the wine on the column to remove the alcohol. Then reinject the aromatic fraction extracted during the first step into the dealcoholized wine.
Tasting notes
