WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Savigny-Les-Beaune Vieilles Vignes begins with grapes sourced from old vines within the Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation. Viticulture is strictly organic, with soil cultivated without chemical herbicides and vines treated with organic products. Harvest is done by hand, with grapes sorted meticulously. In the cellar, fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for 10 to 15 months in French oak barrels, using 10-25% new oak. Finally, the wine is bottled without filtration, preserving its natural integrity and character.
