WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Beaujolais Villages Marc Dudet 2022 involves sourcing grapes from selected vineyard sites within the Beaujolais Villages appellation, often on granite-rich soil. The harvest typically occurs in late September. A key winemaking technique employed is partial carbonic maceration, where whole grape clusters are fermented in a carbon dioxide environment to enhance fruit character. Fermentation is completed traditionally after pressing. The wine is then aged for approximately eight months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
