The word of the wine: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine.

Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
