WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Famille Morin employs traditional winemaking techniques for their Beaujolais Villages. The grapes undergo semi-carbonic maceration using whole clusters for 12 days at low temperatures, a process that enhances fruitiness and softens tannins. Fermentation is initiated by indigenous yeasts, and no sulfites are added during this stage. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in large oak foudres, which impart subtle complexity without overpowering the wine's vibrant fruit. The estate practices certified organic viticulture and aims for minimal intervention throughout the entire winemaking process, reflecting their commitment to natural and sustainable production.
