WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking at Paul Durdilly et Fils follows ancestral Beaujolais traditions. Grapes are hand-harvested from old vines and undergo semi-carbonic maceration using whole bunches to preserve the vibrant fruit character and soft tannins. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in neutral vessels to maintain its fresh, fruit-forward profile without any oak influence, followed by minimal filtration before bottling.
