WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Chablis Premier Cru Grande Cuvée begins with the reception of harvest musts, allowing La Chablisienne full control over subsequent steps. Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel tanks following a cold settling of the must. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in stainless steel. While specific aging details for this vintage are not fully detailed, Premier Cru Chablis wines are typically aged in stainless steel, with some potential for barrel aging and sur lie contact to develop complexity. The cooperative is actively pursuing sustainability certifications, aiming for HVE3 and Terra Vitis compliance across its vineyards.
