WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bourgogne Les Croix Blanches Rouge by Charles Lachaux is crafted from grapes sourced from Burgundy. The winemaking process, guided by Charles Lachaux's meticulous approach, likely involves careful fermentation to highlight the fruit's purity and the vintage's characteristics. Aging typically occurs in oak barrels, contributing to the wine's structure and complexity. The 2023 harvest was notably short and intense due to warm weather, requiring precise timing to ensure grape quality and balance in the final wine.
