WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking for Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons 2022 emphasizes the expression of Chardonnay from the Vaillons vineyard. Key techniques often involve fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a method chosen to preserve the delicate aromas and minerality characteristic of Chablis. While the estate's traditional style leans towards stainless steel, some wines may undergo aging in barrels, influencing their texture and complexity. The harvest is timed to achieve a balance of fruit ripeness and acidity. The producer's philosophy is deeply rooted in respecting the terroir, with a strong and growing commitment to sustainable practices, including organic and biodynamic viticulture, and initiatives to enhance the vineyard's ecosystem.
