WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine Laporte Sancerre Les Grandmontains begins with pneumatic pressing of the grapes, followed by settling at low temperatures. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks between 18°C and 20°C, with no malolactic fermentation. The wine is subsequently aged on its fine lees until bottling in June. This approach is designed to maintain the wine's freshness and minerality.
