WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Chassagne-Montrachet Champs de Morjot Rouge 2021 involves hand-harvesting grapes at peak ripeness, followed by sorting on vibrating tables. The grapes are fully destemmed, and a cold pre-fermentation maceration is utilized. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine then undergoes aging for 10 to 15 months in French oak barrels, with a proportion of new oak (20-25%). A subsequent period of 3 to 6 months in stainless steel vats may follow barrel aging. The vineyard management employs 'lutte raisonnée' and 'très raisonnée' principles.
