WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Jean-Claude Boisset Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Ursulines 2023 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested from vines averaging 25-45 years old, grown on clay and limestone soils. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels with native yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in oak barrels without racking or lees stirring. A small proportion, 10%, of the barrels are new French oak with light toasting.
