WINE MAKING PROCESS
Domaine Laroche Chablis Premier Cru Les Montmains 2022 is produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The winemaking process begins with manual harvests and sorting, followed by pneumatic pressing. Fermentation takes place in both stainless steel tanks (70%) and used oak barrels (30%), with the latter aged between 1 to 7 years. The wine then undergoes 12 months of aging on its fine lees in historical cellars. Traditional methods are employed to maintain the freshness and aromatic intensity of the Chardonnay.
