WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine D'Ardhuy Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes 2019 involves traditional methods with a focus on minimal intervention. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. A portion of the grapes are destemmed, while another part undergoes whole-bunch fermentation to enhance structure. Fermentation takes place in thermoregulated wooden vats over 18 to 21 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 16 to 18 months, with 35-45% of these being new barrels.
