WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Chapoutier Invitare Condrieu is produced using 100% Viognier grapes, hand-harvested at optimal maturity. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures (16-18°C), with a portion of the wine fermented in oak casks. Following fermentation, the wine rests on its lees for about 8 months. Aging involves 15% in new barrels and 85% in demi-muids, contributing to the wine's complexity and structure.
