<p>A method for maturing a wine contained in a container having a gaseous phase referred to as the sky mounted thereon, the container including elements for injecting a gaseous phase into the wine or a liquid phase and a circuit which extends from at least one sampling point at sky level to the injection elements in the liquid phase, and an element for the forced circulation of the gaseous phase between the sampling point and the injection elements. The method includes feeding an inert gas into the container to reduce the residual oxygen level in the sky, recirculating the gaseous phase of the sky via the forced circulation element through the liquid phase to establish a forced balance between the gaseous and liquid phases in the container, feeding oxygen into the container, and recirculating the gaseous phase of the sky via the forced circulation element through the liquid phase to retain a substantially constant residual oxygen level in the sky.</p> |
