WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bernard Tornay Grand Cru is produced through a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation, potentially in stainless steel tanks, and may include malolactic fermentation to develop complexity. A significant aspect of its production is the extended aging period, with a minimum of 36 months spent on lees, followed by at least 3 months of aging after disgorgement. This process is designed to build character and refine the wine's texture and flavor profile.
