WINE MAKING PROCESS
Chablis By Passy le Clou is made from 100% Chardonnay. The grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks over approximately 10 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months post-harvest, with an additional 15-18 months spent aging on fine lees. A key aspect of the winemaking is the separate vinification of each of the estate's 21 vineyard plots. The Domaine Passy le Clou estate adheres to strict environmental guidelines, holding HVE Level 3 certification and implementing agroecology practices, including soil tilling, natural fertilization, and biodiversity promotion.
