WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune begins with rigorous grape sorting, followed by partial or total destemming depending on the vintage. Fermentation occurs in vats for about three weeks with temperature controls, utilizing minimal intervention techniques like pigeage and remontage for extraction. The wine then undergoes 12 months of aging, split between barrels (approximately 25% new oak) and stainless steel vats. Post-barrel aging, the wine is stabilized in vats for three to six months before bottling. The domaine practices 'lutte raisonnée' in its vineyards and is progressing towards organic farming.
