WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru begins with fermentation in temperature-regulated vats, followed by transfer to barrels. A portion of the barrels, around 30%, are new. The wine undergoes aging on fine lees, with stirring, until malolactic fermentation is complete. The total aging period in barrels is a maximum of 12 months, followed by 4 months in vats. Mild filtration is applied based on the wine's clarity.
