WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Chiroubles Cuvée Tradition 2023 is produced using a 10-day semi-carbonic maceration process, with 35% of the grapes being destemmed. Following fermentation, the wine matures for four months in stainless steel tanks. This approach is designed to maintain the wine's freshness and fruit purity. Viticulture at Domaine Cheysson follows a 'Reasoned/low intervention' philosophy.
