WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Domaine des Carlines Trémoulette Chardonnay undergoes spontaneous fermentation, utilizing native yeasts to capture the essence of its origin. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 15 months in old Burgundy barrels. This aging process, specifically using previously used oak, is a key technique that shapes the wine's texture and complexity without the overt influence of new wood. The producer's philosophy centers on expressing the unique terroirs of the Jura region through careful vineyard management and winemaking.
