WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Château Beau-Site Haut-Vignoble follows traditional methods. Key techniques include cold pre-fermentation maceration to enhance color and aroma extraction, followed by fermentation with extraction managed through micro pump-overs, tailored to the potential of each vineyard plot. The wine is subsequently aged in oak barrels, a process that contributes to its aromatic profile and textural development. Harvest timing is carefully considered based on the ripeness and quality of grapes from individual plots.
