WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Paul Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert 2022 begins with grapes from old vines (40-60 years) grown on pebbly plains. The vineyard is managed using biodynamic and organic practices. Following harvest, the grapes undergo maceration for approximately three weeks with daily pump-overs. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 20% of them being new. This approach aims to preserve the natural character of the Syrah grape and the vineyard's terroir.
