WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Château d’Ampuis Côte-Rôtie begins with meticulous vineyard practices focused on low yields and natural balance, avoiding chemical interventions. Grapes are fermented in closed stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months in oak barrels. This extended maturation period is a key element of Guigal's approach, contributing to the wine's complexity and structure.
