WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this Chardonnay are sourced from a variety of plots within Burgundy, characterized by calcareous clay soils. Vinification involves fermenting 80% of the wine in stainless steel tanks and 20% in oak barrels over 5-6 weeks. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an aging period of 8-12 months, with 80% resting in tanks and 20% in barrels. Throughout this aging process, the wine is kept on its fine lees to develop its character.
