WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine de la Vougeraie cultivates its vineyards using biodynamic practices. Following harvest, the Chardonnay grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wine is then aged in barrels, with about 20% of the oak being new, sourced predominantly from the forest of Cîteaux. The 2021 vintage experienced challenging weather, leading to reduced yields and a harvest that began on September 17th, requiring meticulous grape selection.
