WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine Joubert's Brouilly 2020 begins with hand-harvested Gamay grapes. The grapes undergo whole-cluster semi-carbonic maceration in cement tanks and wooden vats, with fermentation driven by indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 6 to 10 months in a mix of old barrels and large wooden vats (foudres). The estate's philosophy emphasizes natural winemaking, with a focus on organic farming and minimal intervention throughout the process to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the granite terroir.
