WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2023 Domaine G. Roumier Chambolle-Musigny is produced from 100% Pinot Noir. Approximately 50% whole clusters were included during fermentation, a technique that can add complexity and peppery notes. No chaptalization was performed, allowing the natural alcohol levels to develop. Malolactic fermentation concluded by March 2024, contributing to the wine's texture. The wine then undergoes aging in oak barrels before its anticipated bottling in early 2025. The estate's viticultural approach in 2023 involved managing yields through green harvesting to ensure optimal ripeness and balance.
