WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Couvent des Jacobins Bourgogne Blanc is produced by Louis Jadot using 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from various Burgundy appellations. A key technique involves a dual approach to fermentation and aging: approximately one-third of the wine is fermented and aged in oak casks for about eight months, while the remaining portion is fermented and aged in stainless steel vats. This method is employed to achieve a balance of freshness, structure, roundness, and complexity in the final wine.
