WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Beaujolais Villages Lantignié Alexandre Burgaud 2023 is produced using 100% Gamay Noir grapes. A key technique employed is semi-carbonic maceration, also known as whole-berry fermentation, often with the stems included. Fermentation occurs in neutral vessels such as concrete tanks or stainless steel. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in concrete tanks or in very cold cellars, with no oak influence. The producer focuses on cultivating old vines, with an average age of 60 years, on granitic terroirs, and maintains low production per vine to ensure quality.
