WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Domaine Parent Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes 2022 involves meticulous attention to detail, starting with hand-harvested grapes that undergo sorting in the vineyard and winery. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled conical oak vats using indigenous yeasts, preceded by a cold maceration. For the 2022 vintage, 100% whole clusters were utilized. The wine then undergoes aging for 16-18 months in oak barrels, with a significant portion being new French oak. Domaine Parent adheres to organic farming practices and is working towards biodynamic certification.
