WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine de l'Enclos Chablis Premier Cru Vau de Vey is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking process emphasizes minimal intervention, with fermentation initiated by native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and/or French oak barrels. The wine is aged on fine lees for up to 18 months in neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel. The estate employs certified organic farming practices, focusing on soil vitality and vine health. Hand-harvesting is utilized for Premier Cru vineyards. The wines are typically unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur dioxide added, often only at bottling.
