Lalvin 71B™ Selected by INRA Narbonne - France Saccharomyces cerevisiae Red Wine

White Wine

Rosé Wine

High Brix Juice

Restart Stuck Ferment

14 % Low Esters Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet The Primeur-type wines or “nouveaux” wines represent a signifi cant part of the wines produced in the world. Generally they are made from varieties which aromatic potential is weak. At the time of elaboration, it is then advisable to favor the production of fermentative aromas with the yeast, in order to reinforce the fruity aromas. These wines have to also be easy to drink, which involves a light tannic structure for red wines. Lalvin 71B® yeast has been isolated and selected by the Pr. Maugenet’s team at the INRA Narbonne in this prospect. Its owes its success to its abilities to produce amyl ester (isoamyl acetate), which allows to reinforce the aromatic profi le of wines elaborated from neutral varieties. It metabolizes also a part of the malic acid contained in the musts rich in acid, thus diminishing their strong character. Combined with other yeasts it allows, by melting, the composition of the aromatic range the winemaker looks for. Finally Lalvin 71B® has the property to adsorb a part of the polyphenolic compounds on its cellular wall, thus limiting the tannic structure of primeur red wines. For more information please contact our distributor.

White Wine

Rosé Wine

High Brix Juice

Restart Stuck Ferment

16 % High Varietal Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet BM 4X4® is a blend of BM45™ and another yeast known for its fermentation reliability. BM45™ is known and appreciated around the world for its round mouthfeel and stable color (see above description for BM45). However, BM45™ is a slow fermenter and can require substantial nutrients to complete fermentation successfully and without the production of sulfides. While BM45™ has a very strong following among winemakers who enjoy its slow fermentation and its suitability for long maceration programs, there are others who desire the attributes of BM45™ but with a more timely and secure fermentation. BM 4X4® achieves this goal. During the yeast growth phase, BM 4X4® has the unusual capacity of releasing a significant quantity of polyphenol-reactive polysaccharides into the fermenting must. The quantity and the quality of the polysaccharides released during fermentation facilitate the production of red wines with great mouthfeel and improved color stability, with dependable fermentation kinetics under difficult fermentation conditions. In whites, BM 4X4® releases a high level of esters responsible for fruit aromas and also brings roundness to the mouthfeel. For more information please contact our distributor.

Lalvin Fc9 EDV Selected by BNIC, Charentes, France Saccharomyces cerevisiae White Wine

12 % Very low Esters Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Technical Datasheet Wines intended for distillation are only one step in obtaining eaux-de-vie and thus require certain qualities to be suitable for heating. The main requirements for winemaking are as follows: alcoholic fermentation of unracked musts containing no sulphites needs to be fast; malolactic fermentation (not obligatory) needs to be possible immediately after this, and concentrations of certain compounds (higher alcohols, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, volatile sulphur compounds) in wines intended for distillation need to be low. To meet these requirements and help obtain quality eaux-de-vie, Lalvin FC9 yeast has been selected on the Charentes 'terroir' by the BNIC (Bureau Interprofessionnel de Cognac) and the University of Nantes, in collaboration with Lallemand. This yeast is dominant towards the end of fermentation and belongs to a yeast family that is well-represented in the region. For more information please contact our distributor.
Lalvin ICV D21 Selected by the ICV Languedoc, France Saccharomyces cerevisiae cerevisiae Red Wine

White Wine

Rosé Wine

16 % Moderate Enhance varietal character Product Declaration Safety Datasheet Lalvin ICV D21® was isolated in 1999 from the Pic Saint Loup Languedoc “terroir” during a special regional program run by the Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV) Natural Micro-Flora Observatory and Conservatory. ICV D21® was selected for fermenting red wines with stable color, intense fore-mouth, mid-palate tannin structure, and fresh aftertaste. Unlike most wine yeasts, ICV D21® contributes both higher acidity and positive polyphenol-reactive polysaccharides. Strong interactions of the polysaccharides with the floral and fruity volatile compounds contribute to a more stable aromatic profile in the mouth. These attributes avoid the development of cooked jam and burning-alcohol sensations in highly mature and concentrated Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. During fermentation, ICV D21® produces very few sulfides, and it is also noted for its good fermentation performance, even under high temperature and low nutrient conditions. It allows for the expression of fruit from the grapes while reducing the potential for herbaceous characters in Cabernet sauvignon. When blended with wines fermented with Lalvin ICV D254® and ICV D80®, ICV D21® brings fresher, sustained intense fruit and lively sensations beginning in the fore-mouth and carrying through to the aftertaste. ICV D21® is also used in very ripe white grapes, barrel fermented to develop fresh fruit aromas, volume and acidity that complement wines fermented with Enoferm ICV D47™ in blends. Rosé wines fermented with ICV D21® have enhanced red fruit, fore-mouth volume and balance, making it the perfect blending complement to rosé wines fermented with Lalvin ICV GRE™. For more information please contact our distributor.
