WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 is produced using 100% Aligoté grapes. Clotilde Davenne practices 'lutte raisonnée' and holds 'Haute Valeur Environnementale' certification. Grapes are typically hand-harvested. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to emphasize fruit purity. The wine undergoes aging for up to 18 months on fine lees in tank, a technique that enhances texture and complexity without the use of oak barrels. Clotilde Davenne generally avoids wood aging, particularly new barrels.
