WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Chorey-lès-Beaune Les Beaumonts 2022 involves manual harvesting with rigorous sorting. Grapes are fermented with 50% whole clusters, using indigenous yeasts and a 4-day cold maceration. Extraction is gentle, with two punch-downs. The wine then undergoes 15 months of aging on lees without racking. Oak aging utilizes 33% new French oak barrels, treated with a long, low-temperature toasting process to impart subtle oak influence.
