WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Côte Rôtie La Landonne involves careful vineyard management in the specific La Landonne parcel. Traditional vinification techniques are employed to capture the essence of the 100% Syrah grapes. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes extended aging, typically in new oak barrels, which contributes to its structure and complexity. This approach is designed to produce a wine with significant aging potential and a clear expression of its origin.
