WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Domaine Garon's Côte-Rôtie Les Triotes 2021 involves careful vineyard management and gentle winemaking techniques. Grapes are hand-harvested and typically 80-90% destemmed before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Post-fermentation maceration can extend up to three weeks. The wine then undergoes aging in French oak barrels for 16 to 21 months, with a portion of new oak used to add complexity. Domaine Garon practices sustainable viticulture, with much of the vineyard work done by hand or horse, emphasizing respect for the land.
