WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Chapitres de Jaffelin 2020 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. Winemaking likely involves controlled fermentation, often in stainless steel tanks, to preserve the grape's fresh fruit characteristics and vibrant acidity. Aging typically occurs in stainless steel to maintain the wine's purity and direct expression of terroir, avoiding significant oak influence. Harvest timing is carefully managed to achieve a balance of ripeness and acidity.
