Caveau Bugiste celebrates 50 years of commitment and passion; it is a small but prestigious French winery which have become an economical driving force for all the wine producers of the Bugey. The winery celebrated its half a century life with a new installation of vinification tank and with pneumatic wine presses supplied by VLS Technologies which will be operating from the next 2017 harvest.
Caveau Bugiste equip themselves with 3 new pneumatic wine presses installed by our French distributor Viti-Agri based in Serrières-de-Briord. VLS Technologies supplied a PSA 30 press (open drum press, 30 hl), a PSA50 (open drum press, 50 hl) and a PSC 50 (closed drum press, 50 hl). All the presses come with washing system and PLC which can manage all the pressing phases automatically. The director Yannick Piaser and his collaborator Laurent Fusillet explain: “These machines have a PLC that the customer can program according to their needs”.
Thanks to the pneumatic press, grape pressing happens in a mild and progressive way and the skins are not subjected to an excessive pressure. This guarantees to only extract the most noble part which makes it so the wine won’t get an aggressive herbal flavour. After commissioning the presses, Caveau Bugiste can depend on François Denneulin, VLS’ French agent, for an efficient and quick after sales service. Francois and Giuseppe Benacchio, VLS Technologies’ Area Manager for France, are confident that “this year on the vinification tanks of Caveau Bugiste the wine will be a perfect must!”.
