.About Maceration carbonic winemaking without sulfur. 

 "The tank previously is saturated with carbon dioxide, the healthy and whole grapes are put into tanks  ... The sulfur has no sense since the harvest is under the protection of carbon  gas.... Add sulphur involves stirring juice and grappes incompatible with the principle of macerating grappes intact. "From the book of natural wine François Morel. After several blind tastings, I've realized that I have a preference for Beaujolais vinified in Burgundy  style and not carbonic maceration. I find more minerality and complexity when the wine come from another vinification. " Carbonic maceration produces  Glug glug wines for wine bar. » term from François Morel . But mostly I do not criticize them and if I had  my vines,  my first bottle  would  from carbonic maceration and  easy to drink and sell quickly.
