It is the culmination of the work accomplished throughout the year. The smooth running of the vinification will depend on its quality. Before unloading the harvest, an outpost allows the measurement of the sugar content, acidity, polyphenol concentration and quality parameters of the grape. The harvest is then unloaded in conquests of the latest technology. The traceability is one of the highlights of Saint-Emilion Producers Union. The grape reception conquests are linked by an automaton to each of the vinification vats, thus ensuring complete traceability of château wines and branded wines. The distribution of the harvest from the conquest is done without pump or pipe since the transfer of the harvest is ensured by overhead crane. The objective is thus to technically reconstitute a gravity system that the ancients already used decades ago. Gravity at the service of quality In 2003, a new gravity transfer vat room was added to the traditional concrete cellar, containing 141 stainless steel vats . Original, innovative, extremely respectful of quality and tradition, this concept is unique to this dimension in Europe . Extremely respectful of the quality of the harvest, the gravity vat of the UDP continues to inspire a good number of prestigious châteaux cellars which have recognized the qualities of this innovation. It is part of an objective of respecting the quality of the grapes by using a system of transfer of the harvest in vats to the vats using gravity. The harvest is therefore distributed without a pump or hose in order to optimally protect the integrity of the grape. The tanks of 100 to 150 hl each make it possible to optimize the plot vinification . All of these vats are equipped with an independent thermoregulation and inerting system promoting temperature control, essential to the process of transforming grape juice into wine. Pressing Pressing is carried out by 8 high-tech hydraulic vertical presses allowing the gentle extraction of the precious liquid. · A remarkable barrel cellar Ideally located in the basement, under the vat room, the barrel cellar , made up of 5,300 units all in French oak, receives free-run wines from gravity runoff. The aging time varies depending on the wine, going up to 18 months. A robotic bottling line UDP Saint-Emilion is equipped with a bottling unit made up of 35 filling spouts capable of maintaining a rate of 8,000 bottles per hour. Storage, packaging and shipping in Vayres Situé à quelques kilomètres de Saint-Emilion, à Vayres, un bâtiment de 6 700 m² a été aménagé pour stocker les bouteilles et accueillir un chaîne d’habillage en partie robotisée et effectuant 5 000 bouteilles à l’heure. C’est également depuis cette plateforme que sont assurées les expéditions aux quatre coins du monde.
